With her heart racing and tears still streaming down her face, she finally reaches the safety of her own chambers. The familiar scent of lavender and vanilla welcomes her like a warm embrace, immediately easing the tension in her body. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself as she wipes away the remaining tears that slip down her cheeks. She had always despised crying in front of others, feeling vulnerable and exposed. And in this moment, after discovering that there were not one but two people who had broken into her home with malicious intent, the last thing she wanted was to feel weak. But in the comfort of her room, surrounded by her own belongings and memories, she allows herself to succumb to the overwhelming emotions that consume her.

As she entered her quarters, Y/n momentarily forgot that she was no longer living alone. The presence of Armin, her new roommate, had slipped from her mind completely due to her emotions. But as the door slammed shut behind her, a sigh of frustration and exhaustion leaving her mouth, she heard his footsteps approaching. Armin emerged from his own room down the hall to greet her, concern etched on his face. A warm glow filled the small space as they stood facing each other, two strangers turned roommates, navigating their evolving dynamic.

He averted his gaze, trying to avoid direct eye contact with the princess. As he observed her, it was evident that she had discovered the true reason for his presence here. A small, sympathetic smile tugged at his lips as he felt a pang of guilt for a situation that was out of his control.
