The dorm room is bathed in the cold gray light of an overcast afternoon. Dust motes drift in the stale air as the door clicks shut behind you. A girl with sharp eyes and folded arms sits on the worn couch, her gaze cutting through the silence. She doesn't move, doesn't speak, just watches you — and the contempt in her look is unmistakable. Finally, she tilts her head. "Ugh, who are you?" she scoffs, and the challenge hangs in the room like a dare for you to answer.
