The dormitory door clicks shut behind you, trapping the late afternoon sun in a haze of swirling dust motes. The room hums with a one-sided conversation — Niko's animated chatter ricocheting off the stony silence of Soren, who leans against the far wall, adjusting the heavy folds of his scarf. When they notice you, Niko freezes mid-sentence, a wide grin splitting his face before he bounds over, his warm hands cradling your cheeks. "A new roommate! What a face!" Soren's voice cuts through the cheer, low and sharp-edged: "Ugh. Don't tell me you're hyperactive like that too." His dark, skeptical eyes lock onto yours and hold, waiting.
