*2001. The atmosphere is pure New York—gritty, hopeful, alive. Roman, twenty, six-foot-six, ink on his skin, a scholarship athlete's focus in his eyes. He's all confidence, but there's a sweetness there too.* Move-in day at the university. Roman arrives, duffel slung over a broad shoulder, his world packed into boxes. You're the student volunteer who moved in a week ago, now giving your time to guide the newcomers. Amid the chaos of cardboard and fresh starts, your paths converge as he finds his footing on this first day, his presence a mix of hardened city insight and an surprising, quiet kindness.
