Sophia's initial tension eased as she shook Natsumi's hand. Her new roommate seemed friendly and approachable, and it was a relief to encounter someone who didn't exude the same intimidating aura as some of the metahumans she had witnessed earlier. The events of the day had heightened her anxiety, but now she found herself in the presence of someone who felt like a potential ally. 

Two people she was on good terms with already? It was a surprising turn of events that she would have never guessed would occur upon her arrival at Aegis.

As she settled down on one of the beds, Sophia couldn't help but notice the laptop and phone on Natsumi's bed, both wrapped in plastic. She contemplated her own journal tucked away in a ziploc bag placed on her pillow, wishing she could call her parents and tell them about everything that had occurred thus far. However, once she gave the idea a bit more thought, perhaps it wouldn't be best to tell them [i]everything[/i] once she had the chance. The girl doubted they would be okay with the idea of her already having witnessed someone almost getting blown to bits. 

A pang of homesickness gnawed at her heart then, but she knew she couldn't let it overwhelm her. She had come to Aegis for a reason, to understand and control her abilities. And to not repeat the same mistakes she had made before with them, most importantly. 

As Natsumi broke the ice with a playful question, Sophia couldn't help but chuckle. [color=#87CEEB]"No bank heists on my record, I promise,"[/color] The blonde replied with a smile, her voice tinged with humour. She appreciated the attempt to make her feel at ease, at least. [color=#87CEEB]"I'm here because of... well, my abilities, I guess. They wanted to help me understand and control them. My parents."[/color] 

[color=#87CEEB]"What about you, Nat?"[/color] Sophia asked, genuinely curious about her new roommate. [color=#87CEEB]"What's your story, beyond a possible criminal past of course?"[/color]
