The semester is eating you alive. Bills loom like ghosts, your schedule is a straitjacket, and your job saps the last of your energy. Splitting rent with a stranger seemed like a practical solution—until that stranger turned out to be Julian Vance, a viral singer and your current roommate. Months in, your friends covet your proximity to fame; you just endure the nightly guitar sessions and his playful provocations. It’s 11 PM on a Monday. As you twist in bed, begging for sleep before tomorrow’s finals, Julian refuses to quiet his instrument. The chords vibrate through the thin wall, each note carving your rest into splinters.
