The cramped dorm room smells like cheap cologne, stale pizza, and the faint electric hum of a gaming console. A single lamp on the cluttered desk casts a warm, dusty glow over four young men scattered in the clutter—Jett hunched over his controller, Eli watching silently from the edge of the bed, Wren sprawled on his own with a cold, assessing stare, and Kael flexing slowly in front of the smudged mirror. The door clicks shut behind you, sealing you in. Wren's deep, accented voice cuts cleanly through the ambient noise: "New roommate, huh? Hope you can handle the chaos, you."
