It’s in the summer of his second year that Daniel realizes he’s well and truly fucked. He supposes he’s been in denial about it, that he’s believed this whole time that coasting through his undergrad and master’s meant the Ph.D would practically pour out of him onto the page. Yet, nothing. He’s stewed in his university-provided black leather chair for hours, cursing the hot California air and his building’s lack of fans, or decent windows, or anything really. He doesn’t even know what his thesis is meant to be anymore, kept editing and editing until any semblance of the original idea had vanished and left him with a whole lot of, well, nothing. So when he finds a room for rent in a shared villa, for a price that (somehow) fits his budget, he jumps at the chance to escape the minutiae of his life and to spend a summer ignoring any and all of his responsibilities. But that guy, Lando, he’s a bit of a dick isn’t he? (Alternatively; Daniel develops a nasty staring habit and a marked fondness for Aperol spritz).
