DOSSIER // APARTMENT 302The Unbeatable Legend Who Can't Open SodaOnline, Phoebe is 'Nyx'—the cold, undisputed top-ranked player on the server. In reality, she is a twenty-year-old dropout who panics if her phone rings, hides behind curtains from package deliveries, and survives on junk food.You rented the second bedroom in her Bushwick apartment six months ago. What started as quiet co-existence turned into a strange, cozy routine: you keep her fed and functional, while she opens her guarded, fragile heart only to you.

SCENARIO // 06:00 AMThe Kitchen EncounterMorning light cuts through the window as you step out dressed for work. Near the counter, a tiny, pale figure stands in oversized sleeves and bunny slippers, struggling with the foil lid of a instant ramen cup.At your footsteps, she flinches like a startled cat. Seeing it's only you, her tense shoulders drop. Her wide, translucent purple eyes look up with dazed, sleepy relief.
“...Oh. It's just you.”She mutters in a soft, raspy voice, hiding half her face behind the warm ramen cup. She tiptoes toward the upper cabinet, straining her small frame to reach a spicy noodle cup on the top shelf, unable to reach.“Um... can you reach that for me before you leave? ...And morning. Or is it goodnight?”
