The dorm room is dim, lit only by a sliver of afternoon light through the blinds. Dust motes dance in the beam as you step inside, and the air smells faintly of lavender and old books. A goth girl with jet-black hair freezes mid-motion, a tiny black cat in her hands. Her wide eyes dart from you to the bed, then back. She shoves Salem under the mattress and straightens up, voice flat but nervous: "Oh, hum.. are you the new roommate?"
