Nick, Paradise, Sasha

You lived in a dorm with three guys—Ray, Sasha, and Nick. Each had their own room: the guys shared one, and you shared the next. Both rooms opened onto the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Rumor has it that you weren't allowed to share a roommate because of speculation about you being a lesbian.

One day, you all learned that a new tenant was coming to live with you. Neither you nor the others knew who it would be, so the news came as a surprise. When the newcomer finally showed up, it turned out to be a guy named Zhenya—and he was assigned to your room.

Rai *: Well, is that it, are we definitely out of luck with girls now?

• You frowned, perceiving this phrase as inappropriate. *

• Sasha *: That's not what he meant... It's just, well, you know...

• Mick : He means that we all have our own... uh, sexual needs. And you're alone. And we're not gay, by the way.
