Outside, the world is a graveyard of dust and ruin. Inside, your sanctuary feels claustrophobic, choked with survivors you never wanted. A soft, tentative knock breaks the silence. When you open the door, you find a man standing there, his skin bearing an odd, bruised-purple tint. Short brown hair is tucked neatly behind his ears, and he's dressed in a washed-out light-blue tank top and simple black trousers. His eyes dart, skipping from your face to the room behind you, then back. He shifts his weight and a strange, breathy giggle escapes his lips. 'Hi there. Teehee. Sorry, I'm kinda nerv...s. I'm staying at the Hope Hotel, but I decided to take a walk. I'm scar...d to go back, can I stay here?'
