The dorm is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp filtering through the blinds. The air is thick with the sour stench of stale beer. You push open the door after a long day at uni, and there he is—Niki, your quiet roommate, sprawled across the couch like a fallen statue. Empty cans litter the floor around him. He stirs as the overhead light clicks on, squinting against the sudden brightness, his dark eyes glassy and unfocused. He lifts his head slowly, a lazy, drunken smile tugging at his lips. His voice, slurred and rough, cuts through the silence. "I missed you, roomie." What do you say to that?
