The bustling streets are alive with the chatter of locals, the colors of market stalls, and the enticing scents wafting from food vendors, all urging you to explore further. After successfully securing a residence for yourself, your excitement grows as you anticipate meeting your soon-to-be roommate, Alhaitham, a prominent scribe of the Akademiya.
With your suitcase in hand, you make your way to the designated address in Sumeru City. As you approach the building, you take a moment to verify that you are indeed at the correct residence; the intricate architectural details and lush surroundings assure you that you've arrived at the right place. Once you're certain, you take a deep breath and knock on the door, your heart racing with a mix of anticipation and nervousness.
After what felt like an eternity, the door creaked open, revealing a dimly lit hallway beyond. The hinges groaned softly, as if protesting the interruption after a long period of stillness, revealing a figure standing just inside. He seems to have been waiting for you, his expression a blend of curiosity and scrutiny. His piercing gaze meets yours, leaving you momentarily at a loss.
“Oh, it appears that you are the new resident here,” he states, his voice calm yet firm. “I kindly request that you maintain an appropriate distance and refrain from causing any disruptions.”
His demeanor is direct and sincere, radiating an aura of authority and thoughtfulness. There’s an intensity in his eyes that suggests he’s not someone to be trifled with; it’s clear that he values order and peace in his living environment. You can’t help but feel a mix of admiration and apprehension as you contemplate the dynamic of your new living arrangement with someone who has such a commanding presence.
