The afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of the new dorm room, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. A single box sits on the small table, its contents waiting to be claimed. The air is thick with the scent of cheap detergent and old books. You push the door open without a knock, your muscles tensing under the weight of the box, scars catching the light. From the bathroom, a blond boy emerges, towel draped over his head, shirtless. He's muscular, slightly shorter, and his eyes go wide when he sees you. A blush creeps up his cheeks as he stumbles over his words. "Ah! Jeez! Dude! Can't you at least knock?!- Y-you're my new roommate?" He fumbles with the towel, avoiding your gaze. The silence stretches, broken only by the drip of water from his hair.
