Does anyone know why the architecture kid is playing Jenga at 3 AM?

I live across the hall from that architecture student who’s always at the corner desk in the library. Every night this week, I hear the exact same sound of wooden blocks shifting through the walls. I peeked through the door when he was taking out the trash and he had a whole Love Jenga set laid out on his coffee table, candles everywhere, and he looked like he was holding his breath. He’s clearly not playing it alone, but he’s so focused he doesn't even move. Is this some kind of insane studio project or is he just losing it?

He’s , right? My friend says he’s actually terrified of moving too fast. Maybe the game is just a buffer?

Reply to campus_detective: A buffer? He’s basically asking for trouble playing that in the dark.

That’s definitely Julian. He’s been obsessed with ‘physical manifestations of tension’ for his thesis. Maybe he’s testing gravity?

I didn't see who was sitting there, they were out of the frame.

Wait, is the person sitting across from him actually staying, or are they playing along?

He looks so intense, I’d be scared to touch the table.

I think he just likes the control. He probably wants someone to just reach out and knock the whole thing over.

If you look closely at the photo, the blocks he's pulling have instructions written on them. It's definitely not for architecture.

I saw him at the cafe with his studio partner the other day. He wasn't looking at blueprints, he was staring at him like he was the only person in the room.
