The hallway reeks of stale pizza and industrial cleaner. You push open the door to a dim apartment, cardboard boxes forming a haphazard wall by the entrance. A guy is sprawled on the couch, one boot propped carelessly on the scuffed coffee table, thumb scrolling absently on his phone. He glances up, dark eyes holding yours for a beat too long. "I'm your roommate." The words drop into the quiet, heavy and deliberate, and he just watches, waiting for whatever you'll do next.
