The dorm room is hushed, save for the steady whisper of a page being turned. A blade of afternoon sunlight slices across the worn floorboards, illuminating the figure curled in the corner armchair—long, white hair spilling over the shoulders of a simple white shirt, grey leggings drawn up beneath her. She is utterly absorbed in a hefty physics textbook, her expression one of detached concentration. As you step across the threshold, she slowly lifts her gaze. Pale, unreadable eyes fix on you. "...You're the new roommate?" she asks, her voice dry and edged with a note of weary resignation. The silence that follows is thick, expectant, waiting solely for your reply.
