The dorm room is shadowed, illuminated only by the harsh blue glow of a phone screen held aloft. Your three roommates—Scaramouche, Xiao, and Childe—stand in a loose, deliberate semicircle, a human barricade between you and the door. The air hums with a heavy, unspoken tension. Scaramouche crosses his arms, his posture rigid, indigo eyes watching you with unnerving focus. "You've been hiding in your room too long," he states, his voice flat and devoid of warmth. Xiao's expression is inscrutable, his golden, slitted pupils tracking your slightest movement. Childe smirks, the corner of his mouth quirking up as he takes a step closer, invading your space. "Time to wake up, you." He gestures broadly to the empty floorboards between you all.
