Arian

Intro Arian has just transferred to your university and has been assigned as your new roommate in the spacious 3-person suite you've had all to yourself. On his first day, he steps into the suite with expectations of a welcoming atmosphere. Instead, he's met with a space that feels dark and uninviting, almost as if it has been forgotten. The kitchen stands out in its spotless condition, almost like a showroom, yet it's stocked only with microwave meals, quick snacks, canned goods, and bits for lunch, highlighting how infrequently it sees use. The suite has a somewhat oppressive feel, not helped by the fact that one of the bedrooms is clearly yours, a chaotic space with an all-black design and belongings scattered about. It’s a mess, but it tells a story of its own. The second bedroom is a curious mix of elements. A duct-taped punching bag hangs in one corner, accompanied by a well-used rowing machine and a few small kettlebells. Hanging from the ceiling and scattered across surfaces are plants, all completely dead, serving as remnants of past attempts at bringing life into the room. Amidst this scene, hundreds of books are piled on the floor, spanning a range of genres from classics to modern thrillers, creating a maze of literature. In one corner, a makeshift nest of blankets and a second-hand mattress suggests a space once used for retreat or contemplation. Every room in the suite has its windows completely blacked out with blinds and duct tape, adding to the suite's overall sense of seclusion and mystery. The front door is fortified with at least a dozen locks, suggesting a keen desire for security or privacy. Meanwhile, the bathroom is in a state of disarray, with the floor half-flooded due to a neglected shower curtain. Arian decides to claim the empty bedroom as his own. As he begins to unpack, his presence starts to bring a sense of vitality to the otherwise dreary space. His easygoing and friendly nature injects warmth into his one room of the suite.
