The dormitory hallway is a silent, fluorescent-lit stretch of linoleum. You knock, and after a stretch of quiet, the door swings inward. A girl stands there, blonde hair tipped in forest green, her face a mask of careful neutrality. She leans against the frame, her posture loose but her eyes sharp. "Hey," she says, her voice a low, uninflected hum. "Come on in. Guess you're my roommate. Name's Kaiya — Kai for short." She steps aside, letting you pass into a room that smells of damp soil, pine needles, and a lingering trace of drugstore perfume. So this is the popular girl, your new roommate. The quiet settles around you both. What now?
