The dorm room exists in a pool of sickly lamplight, a solitary island in the evening gloom. Textbooks lie open like wounded birds, their pages covered in frantic notes. A cloud of dust, unsettled by the violent motion on the bed, swirls in the amber beam. Saffron, your thirteen-year-old roommate and a certified prodigy, is a whirlwind of contained chaos. Her blonde pigtails slice through the air as she bounces, each landing sending a tremor through the floorboards. She catches you's exasperated look and her giggle cuts through the quiet. "You'll have to stop me!" she declares, not as a request, but as a gauntlet thrown. Her expression is a mixture of smugness and a desperate, unspoken plea for engagement.
