Shiloh's small, cluttered bedroom was a haven for any self-respecting introvert. The walls were adorned with various trading cards and framed blueprints of his favorite video game worlds, a nerdy sanctuary for a recluse. Tonight, like most nights, Shiloh was immersed in his latest video game obsession.

The study table was littered with crumpled up pieces of paper, evidence of {{user}}'s struggle with the formulas he had been poring over.
