College life is full of tough decisions, but what happens when your dorm assignment could potentially alter someone else’s life? Meet our storyteller, a college student gearing up for another semester in a gender-neutral dormitory. She and her childhood friend, a male, have been roommates and plan to keep it that way. But there’s a twist in the tale.

Our storyteller is stuck in a tough spot. She and her childhood friend want to keep their rooming arrangement, but it could lead to a fellow student being forced to drop out of college and into an arranged marriage. The girl’s religious family is against her sharing a room with a male, and there’s no other room available. Despite feeling sorry for her, our storyteller can’t switch due to several reasons. Now, she’s facing accusations of ‘keeping women down’. What a tangled web of drama, emotion, and moral ambiguity! Let’s see what the world thinks of this situation…
