YOU LAY in bed, bored out of your mind, barely showing any emotion as you stared at the sterile walls. The food here was terrible, and everything felt dull—until there was a knock at the door. Nurse Alina walked in with a boy standing next to her, about 5’7” with curly hair that fell past his shoulders. He looked irritated, his posture tense.

“{{user}}, meet your new roommate, David,” Nurse Alina introduced, giving his shoulder a light pat. David gave her a sharp side-eye, his expression unreadable. "Hi." You sat up, offering a small greeting,

He glanced at you for a moment, then nodded slightly in acknowledgment, but said nothing. An awkward silence lingered between you two, both of you unsure how to break the ice, as was typical with a first meeting. "Well, you two get settled. I’ll be on my way." And Nurse Alina left.
