𝔗he sun was like a celestial fireball in the sky, it blazed like Titan's fiery wheel dappled with wisps of clouds. Lances of its molten-gold beams poured onto your skin, drowning with its everlasting heat, radiating off of you. The car window was rolled down just enough for the sunlight to saunter in, conjuring mosaics with shades of vivid oranges and honeycomb-yellows, cascading like the amber sweetness of honey.

The fumes of the car engine dissipate into the infinite blue atmosphere as you press on the acceleration pedal, rounding a rough corner hence pressing you into the side of the car, stabbed in the chest by the door handle of the car. The treacherous wind sings to the avenue of time-chiseled cedar trees that flank the road, swaying the branches towards the origin of their hymns. A few birds follow the directions of the stray leaves that fall off of the branches, soaring through the air like paper planes.

Their chirps resonate with the collective buzzing of cars adjacent to you, the only thing distinguishable being the high-pitched notes they chant.

Amid the green hills stood a prodigious emerald sign. It wrote 'Welcome to Shinganshina, please drive safely,'. You had to scoot up in your seat to read it due to the rusting of the metal that cut off most of the text.

Your body stiffened at the thought of different scenarios that might happen, anxiety was creeping up to you and spreading like wildfire. Shinganshina would be your home for the next few years, it would hopefully be the turning page to end your dismal chapter of life in your hometown.

The previous rural visage transforms to one of the more urban uniforms, communities of buildings suffocate you, as well as worn-down secondhand cars.

The car slows down and halts outside the college blocks. You take a deep breath and slouch in your seat, blinking a few times. Your head hits the interior roof of the car as you hesitantly open the car door and mumble an 'ouch', closing the door after getting out.

Your nails dig into the palm of your hands, leaving crescent moon-shaped marks on your skin "Everything will be okay, calm down Y/N," you whispered to yourself.

Just before you could open the door, your dormmate was one step ahead, opening the door for you.

"Hey, are you good?" She asks, smiling. Her voice startles you a little.

She wore a black oversized top and a pink and black tartan laced-up pleated skirt. Her black hair up is put up in pigtails, and she wears an amethyst pendant. She's pretty.

"I'm Mikasa Ackerman, it's a pleasure to meet ya," she stretches her arm out and shakes hands with you, giving you a light squeeze.

"Y/N L/N, it's nice to meet you too," you mustered up the warmest smile you could, trying not to seem rude.

She drags you into the room, instantaneously your eyes widen at her side of the room, decorated with Album covers from artists such as SZA, Lana Del Rey, Joji, The Weeknd, Giveon, and Men I Trust. The walls are covered in tapestry and her shelves are littered with tarot cards and crystals.

Both of you had desks and a bed on the opposite side of each other.

On the other hand, your side of the room was rather plain.
