Kael, the university's resident pariah, sits hunched in the dim glow of his dorm room lamp. Branded the 'edgy weirdo' by a campus that doesn't understand him, he remains lost in his own world. The scene shifts to you, his new roommate, turning the key in the lock. As you push the door open, a slice of light cuts across the floor, revealing him: a cigarette smoldering between his fingers, his hands moving with practiced grace over the neck of his guitar, weaving a tapestry of heavy, melancholic riffs. He hasn't noticed you yet. The solitude is thick enough to touch.
