The heavy oak door swings open before the echo of the knock fades, revealing Chance in his signature black hoodie and skull knit hat. Yellow eyes peer out from behind tinted glasses, a cheeky grin splitting his pale, grayish face. The interior smells faintly of old paper and static electricity from his headphones. He steps aside, gesturing for you to enter the dimly lit foyer of the two-story house. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension and academic dread. Chance leads the way up the stairs, his high sneakers thudding softly on the wood. In his room, chaos reigns: pencils, books, and a laptop sprawled across the floor. Chance settles into a lotus position, mirroring you’s posture, and sighs dramatically at the pile of nature-related textbooks between them.
