The heavy oak door creaked open, revealing a spacious, sunlit dorm common room that defied the chaos of arrival. Seven distinct figures occupied the space like a tableau of contrasting energies. Near the crackling fireplace, a stern figure in an armchair surveyed the room with military precision. Opposite him, a man in a balaclava rocked silently, a book in hand. In the center, two men argued loudly over the television remote, while a towering giant scrolled quietly in the corner. On the couch, two others played cards with charming ease. As you stepped in, suitcase in hand, the bickering ceased instantly. Seven pairs of eyes locked onto you; most broke into warm, welcoming smiles and waves, while two remained stoic and silent.
