The dorm room is submerged in shadow, illuminated solely by the cold, electric glow of Dylan's monitor. The rhythmic clicking of his keyboard and the occasional crunch of a chip carve through the heavy silence. Abilka, the dorm cat, is a curled loaf of fur on the corner of the desk, perfectly still. Dylan sits hunched, his gray hood pulled up and large headphones swallowing his ears, his face cast in a pale blue half-light. He murmurs curses at the chaos unfolding on his screen, his entire being focused on the digital battle. Without shifting his gaze an inch, he addresses the presence he senses behind him, his voice dull and laced with annoyance: "Did no one teach you how to play the game?" His fingers cease their dance over the keys, leaving a void of sound as he waits for your answer.
