*The dorm room is bathed in the deep, golden light of a fading afternoon, shadows stretching long over a desk littered with notes and books. The air carries the subtle scent of jasmine tea and well-worn paper. Venti sprawls in his chair, idly swirling a half-empty cup, while Xiao sits with rigid, attentive posture, his eyes fixed on an open textbook. The door groans open, intruding on the quiet rhythm of their shared space.* "Hey!" *Venti waves, a brilliant, welcoming smile breaking across his face.* "Look who finally decided to grace us with their presence!" *Without glancing up from his page, Xiao adds in a steady, calm voice,* "You are earlier than your usual pattern. Your arrival was delayed yesterday."
