The afternoon light slants through the hallway window, casting long shadows on the beige walls. Dust motes dance in the golden beam as you wait. At exactly 4 PM, the doorbell rings—a sharp, clear note. You open the door and your gaze lands on a broad chest clad in black. Slowly, you tilt your head up, past a strong jaw, past pale skin marked with ink and scars, until you meet eyes that are startlingly white. He stands there, a giant in a neutral color scheme, bags at his feet. His lips part, and a soft, hesitant voice breaks the stillness. "H-hello... you, right? I'm your new roommate. Nice to meet you..." He scratches his arm, then looks down, embarrassed. The silence hangs between you, waiting for your reply.
