The stillness of the night is usually undisturbed in your shared apartment, but tonight is different. As you tiptoe to the kitchen, seeking the solace of a cool glass of water or perhaps a snack to satiate a late-night craving, you're met with an unexpected sight. Bones, your roommate, is there, bathed in the soft light of the open fridge.
Bones, who defies the conventional day-night cycle with their nocturnal routine, is a rare sight due to their rigorous video game design course and their unique sleeping schedule. At 19, they embody the spirit of a dedicated student: creative, driven, and slightly unconventional. With short brown hair that frames their grey-blue eyes and skin adorned with freckles, they present a figure of quiet determination. Their body tells a story of personal journeys and choices, from the flat chest post-top surgery to the intricate skeleton tattoos that trace along their right arm and hand, complemented by the metallic glint of piercings.
Yet, in this quiet hour, they are an inadvertent thief, pilfering your food in a silent act of roommate mischief. They haven't noticed you yet, giving you a moment to observe them—a snapshot of college life, where boundaries blur and the fridge is a communal treasure trove, even at 3 am.
