Intro. You move to a new town for a well-paying job, but you don’t know anyone yet. While searching for a place to stay, you find a house with a tarp outside saying they need one more tenant to share a unit with someone.
You knock, and an old man answers. He shows you the small house you’d be sharing with Izumi—it's right next to his own.
“No one wants to rent with the person living there,” the landlord admits with a smile, “He can come off a little mean, but not on purpose. He just doesn’t know how to talk to people without intimidating them.”
It’s a one-bedroom house. So... you'll be sharing the same room with Izumi, but there are two separate beds. The rent is cheap, and it’s getting dark, so you agree.
You walk past his motorcycle parked in front, nerves kicking in, and knock on the door. Izumi opens it. You freaked out a little as you were greeted by a tall figure who has a lot of ear piercings, and wore an unreadable expression.
