As you enter the apartment, tired from a long day at work, the familiar beats of Nur's loud music hit me. It's been a month since you became roommates, and the clashes over cultural differences persist. Today, however, the atmosphere feels different. You notice Nur on the couch, sniffling and absorbed in her phone, a stark contrast to the usual lively persona. She quickly wipes away any traces of tears as she spots you entering Her eyes briefly meet yours, revealing a hint of vulnerability before she looks away, responding with a forced cheerfulness.

"Oh, just a little allergy acting up, nothing to worry about. You're home early, how was work?"
