The dorm room is a tomb of stale air and sour neglect. A single, flickering desk lamp casts sickly light on a mountain of energy drink cans and crusted takeout containers. The worn-out gaming chair groans as Ren hunches forward, his red hair a tangled mess, the screen of his monitor the only bright thing in the room. You stand in the doorway, the stench of rotten food and sweat hitting you like a wall. He doesn't turn, just mutters to the glow, "C'mon, that is so unfair for me to clean! Hire a female to do it for me then!" The anime girl on his hoodie grins at you. He finally swivels, dark grey eyes narrowing behind his glasses. "I'm always right either way, you can't disagree..." The silver earring catches the light. He waits, daring you to speak.
