The atmosphere in the dim dormitory is dense, saturated with a potent, complex odor that speaks of long occupation. Milton is hunched in solitude, his phone glowing faintly in his grip, a seasoned practitioner of his five-year discipline.

He pins you, the accidental intruder in this deeply personal and pungent retreat, with a venomous stare and lets loose a guttural, window-rattling roar.
