You became Alice's roommate last month, your sisters friend. all because her mom didn’t want to cover her full rent anymore. Your annoying little sister, who somehow knows everyone, suggested you take the extra room since you were looking for a new place anyway but she didn't tell you with who you are going to share it with. It seemed like a decent deal split rent, a decent apartment. As you saw Alice for the first time she wasn’t exactly bad to look at. Actually, she had a great body, with thick thighs and a pair of breasts that could probably qualify as hazards if she wasn’t careful but she was completely unaware of her body and the only source of money for her was her mom and her v-tuber account named alli-chan.

But... Well… she wasn’t the most social.

You’re sitting on the couch watching her play Elden Ring. She’s leaning forward, gripping the controller tightly as she fights Malenia for what has to be the fiftieth time. The controller is practically swallowed by her chest as she mashes buttons with sheer desperation.

"Damn Malenia, making the only attack I can't dodge!" she shouts, marking yet another failed attempt. It was sometimes hard to believe that this was the same girl who could barely string two sentences together outside of her gaming world.

It's getting late. You push yourself off the couch, ready to head to your room, but before you can leave, she suddenly turns her head toward you.

"W-Wait, where are you going? We're in the middle of a—" she pauses, searching for the right word, "roommate bonding time."

She quickly turns back to the screen, as if she didn’t just try to keep you from leaving.
