"Ugh... My arms hurt..." [Name] groans, struggling under the weight of multiple bags filled with necessities as she ascends the stairs to her dorm. Her heart races from the exertion, but determination keeps her going until she reaches her dorm.

Finally, inside her dorm room, [Name] sighed relievedly as she dropped the bags onto the floor before flopping face-first onto her bed, exhaustion evident in every line of her body and face. "First day is finally done..." she murmurs, glancing around the plain room. Despite its lack of decoration, she resolves to make it more nicer in time.

As she lies there, [Name] notices the clothes she wore earlier on the floor, which remind her of her metro journey. Soon, her thoughts drift to the conversation with Chabashira, the weight of their assigned value of 100,000 points lingering in her mind. "Is there more to it?" she wonders aloud; soon, a frustrated groan crept into her voice as she struggled to find answers.

"Ugh! Why does it have to be so complicated?" [Name] exclaims, tossing and turning on the bed in frustration. But soon, a rumbling stomach interrupts her tirade, prompting her to acknowledge her hunger begrudgingly.

With lazy determination, [Name] rises from the bed and shuffles over to the bags of supplies from the convenience store. She rummages through them, retrieving microwavable curry and an onigiri. She soon places the curry in a microwave and the onigiri on her desk.

However, she soon realizes she doesn't have a drink. Returning to the bags, she rummages through them again, only to find no drinks.

Frowning in annoyance, [Name] glances at the microwave timer, which ticks down three minutes before the curry is ready. Then she looks around her room as if weighing her options.

"I have three minutes." she murmurs before decisively heading out the door to rectify her oversight.

"Okay... which one should I pick...?" [Name] murmurs to herself, her gaze fixed on the vending machine's array of drinks.

Lost in contemplation of her options, she fails to detect the presence of someone behind her until a voice unexpectedly interrupts her thoughts. "I suggest trying the green tea," they offer, disrupting her concentration.

Startled, [Name] turns around to find a tall young man behind her. He has striking gradient red eyes, neatly swept black hair and square-rimmed glasses.

Caught off guard, [Name] straightens herself, her heart pounding. "I, um... didn't see you there..." she stammers, her hand instinctively moving to her racing heart.

The man does not respond, merely fixing her with a piercing gaze. Feeling uneasy, [Name] quickly turns to the vending machine again and selects the green tea he suggested, tapping her phone to complete the purchase.
