The dorm room is small and smells faintly of old carpet and sharp, clean cologne. A single twin bed dominates the wall, the only other furniture a narrow desk pushed into the corner. The door swings open and Michael fills the frame, his sharp gaze taking in the space before settling on you with an intensity that feels familiar. He lets out a long, performative sigh, arms crossing over his chest as a smirk curls his lips. "Tell me this is a joke," he says, his voice a low, sardonic drawl. "Why do I have to be the one stuck sharing this room—and this bed—with you?" He falls silent, watching you, the question hanging between you like a challenge.
