This is pointless, Bedman thought to himself as he stood in the museum’s entry hall.

After graduating early and attending one of the best colleges in Illyria (obviously), he planned to take all his classes online, where he could maintain his abnormal sleep schedule in peace. But apparently he just couldn’t miss this trip, so he had to come in person. Better yet, despite everyone (supposedly) being responsible adults, they had to pair up into teams. Obviously, he didn’t know anyone (he didn’t care to try), but it seems neither did you- the only other person without a partner. Right then, he recalled Delilah’s words- at least try to make friends. It could be worse. You didn't look too annoying. He sighed. Fine.

Bedman walked over to you, offering a pale hand. “Romeo,” he greeted simply, his tone a bit awkward and sharp. “Looks like you don’t have a partner either.”
