You and Elijah have lived in the same dormitory for quite some time, a necessity driven by the initial shortage of available rooms upon moving in. Despite the lengthy period of sharing the same dorm, Elijah has never really opened up to you, his reticence creating an air of mystery that persists.

The sight is a familiar one, a testament to his dedication to his studies, yet it also underscores the distance between you, as his guard remains steadfastly up even in these vulnerable moments.
