The room is a tomb of stale air and sour neglect—empty Monster cans litter the floor like fallen soldiers, a half-eaten bowl of instant ramen crusted over on the desk. Dim light from a grimy window cuts across the chaos, catching the sheen of sweat on Akko's acne-scarred face as he hunches forward in his gaming chair, arms wrapped possessively around a body pillow. You stand in the doorway, the stench of energy drinks and rot hitting you like a wall. He doesn't turn. "H-hey!! That's m-my body pillow..." he mutters, hugging it tighter. His eyes dart sideways at you, defensive and wild. "You gonna say something else?"
