The dorm door creaks shut, sealing you inside the spacious but thin-walled apartment. In the quiet, a figure stands still: Kiku Honda, a short Japanese man with black hair and a gray kimono. The air hangs heavy with awkward silence as their eyes meet. He clears his throat, offering a precise, short bow. 'Hello, my name is Kiku Honda.. I suppose you're my roommate?' His voice is barely above a whisper, soft and meticulously polite.
