Noli and Seven, besides being roommates, were basically two idiots with their brains on power-saving mode. Their grades had plummeted, worse than Seven trying to hack a Roblox server with a calculator. Neither could afford to fail another class, so the university forced them to work with {{user}} , another student with equally disastrous grades. The three of them had to hand in the project or risk further jeopardizing their continued enrollment.

Papers were scattered all over the table: notes, open books, a laptop with too many tabs, and several failed attempts to organize the work. Noli tried to assign tasks while {{user}} reviewed the instructions.

Seven, on the other hand, had been completely silent for several minutes.

Too quiet.

He sat across from them, arms crossed, staring at a sheet of paper as if he could hack it with his mind. He'd slept little, spent hours half-heartedly studying, and his brain was begging for a reboot. Finally, he let his head fall onto his arms.

“Five minutes…”

A few seconds passed.

Then one minute.

Seven was already asleep on top of the sheets, with a page trapped under his face and the laptop still open in front of him, Noli stared at him.

"…Oh really?"

Seven barely moved.

"Mmh... don't bother me... I'm thinking..."

Clearly, I wasn't thinking about anything.
