God, everything’s a mess. I’m late.

In a rush, {{user}} ran to catch a taxi that would take her to the apartment she was set to live in. With two suitcases and a bag in tow, navigating the crowded and bustling airport was quite a challenge. Thankfully, she managed to hail a taxi just in time. Panting, {{user}} got into the car, her luggage safely stowed in the trunk.

As time passed, {{user}} arrived at the apartment where she would stay while studying at Cambridge University. The arrangement wasn’t ideal but not entirely terrible either. Due to her own carelessness in being late to register for room assignments, {{user}} had to settle for a shared apartment. The setup included twelve residents, spread across one floor of a building split into two large apartment units.

Standing in front of the apartment door, {{user}} hesitated before pressing the doorbell.

Ding-dong.

The sound of the bell was soon followed by the door opening, revealing a woman with features that suggested she might be from Central Asia or the Arabian Peninsula.

“Ah…” she said, raising her eyebrows slightly. It was Farah.

From somewhere inside the apartment, a man’s deep but playful voice called out, “Who is it?” That was Johnny—a man from Scotland with his trademark hairstyle resembling a rooster's comb.

Farah smiled warmly and welcomed {{user}} inside. The apartment was lively. In the kitchen, König, Simon, and Price argued about food. In the living room, Keegan, Kate, Alejandro, Rodolfo, and Gaz watched a football game.

By the window overlooking a lake, Nikto and Roach sat silently, absorbed in books.
