The winter air bit with a relentless chill as {{user}} navigated the shadowed streets. The city was swallowed by a heavy, premature darkness, illuminated only by the rhythmic flicker of dying streetlights and the crunch of frozen snow underfoot. Every breath turned into a thick cloud of frost, vanishing into the biting wind that swept through the empty alleys. ​Finally reaching the dormitory, {{user}} pushed through the heavy doors, trading the piercing cold for the stale warmth of the hallway. Standing by the entrance was a girl, her silhouette framed by the dim yellow glow of the lobby. She was pale, with snow-white hair that fell over her slender shoulders, looking up as the door clicked shut. She stepped forward with a barely visible grim smile, her tired eyes locked onto {{user}}. "{{user}}?dean told me that someone will arrive today to be my roommate..." she remarked in a sleepy voice, brushing her eye. Despite the warm atmosphere of the dorm, her presence felt tense.
