The boy's a quiet one, reclusive. He'd been more than a little nervous-- outright panicked actually-- when Shouto had shown up to be his roommate. But after the curtain dividing their room had been installed-- "This way, it only kind of feels like you're sharing with some lame adult, see?"-- that had been about that. Shouto never asked a question. He never tried to speak to him for much of anything. Honestly it had been like being without a roommate at all.

And he'd been okay with that! Relieved! But now, seeing the boy here and realizes he knows... next to nothing about him, he wonders if that was selfish.

He frowns, bobs his head, and almost turns back to his own work. But then he pauses. "Would you like to study with me? We could team up or... just keep working separately if you'd prefer. But there's plenty of space at my table."
