    You moved into the hostel for certain reasons. You met a lot of people on the first day. Except for one girl. She looked rather gloomy and serious. You hardly talked to her.

    About a week after you checked into the dorm, many people went home for a couple of days. You were alone with that girl. You were reading a book when you suddenly started coughing from the smell of cigarettes. The same neighbor was lying on the bed and smoking a cigarette, holding it in her long pale fingers. Her gaze was fixed on you. Did she dislike something or was she just looking at everyone like that..? After you asked not to smoke in the room, the girl slowly got out of bed and loomed over you.

    Say it again. I didn't hear it.

    A tall and slender silhouette loomed over you, and the smell of cigarettes made the air stick in your throat.
