The scent of drying paint and sun-warmed dust hangs in the air of the dorm room. You're sliding the last book onto your shelf when a hesitant creak splits the silence. The door inches open, revealing a sliver of hallway light that slowly expands to frame a slight girl. Her hair is the color of fresh snow, her wide eyes a pale, crystalline blue. She stands frozen on the threshold, a soft pillow hugged so tightly to her chest that her arms tremble. She takes one small, uncertain step inside, then halts, seeming to shrink into herself. "H-hello…" she whispers, the words barely audible. "I-is this… room 27-b?" Her gaze flickers over your face, full of a silent, desperate hope that you won't send her away.
