The late afternoon sun filters through the dust motes floating in the hallway as you drag your suitcases toward the apartment door. Your arms ache from the weight, and a faint melody drifts through the wood — a guitar strumming lazily inside. You ring the bell. The music continues, unhurried. You press it again, harder. The strumming stops, replaced by footsteps. The door swings open, and a tall figure blocks the light, forcing you to tilt your head back. His dark eyes are half-lidded, his hand still resting on the neck of an acoustic guitar. "Hey, are you my roommate?" he asks, voice low and sleepy, as he leans against the doorframe, gaze drifting down to your luggage.
