One would think that these obvious signs of a man, or men living in the dorm would mean I could just leave, but that is where you are wrong. I couldn't assume anything. For all I knew she could be shacking up with one of these men and used this as her home base. So, as tempting as it was to assume she didn't live in these dorm rooms, I couldn't. I had to cover all my bases and make sure I overlooked nothing.

After searching every single dorm room from top to bottom, I was standing in the last dorm, which was on the third floor of the second building, trying to come up with an answer to my problem, but my mind kept going around in circles. She had to live here. All of my intel told me so and it couldn't all be wrong. I had to be missing something.

I looked around, noting that something seemed off about this dorm. It wasn't that it didn't look like every other college dorm I'd been in today because it was. But there was something different about it that I couldn't put my finger on.

I went back to the front door and made my way slowly through each room one more time. The living room/kitchen/dining room had a wooden frame couch with cushions which seemed to have no life left in them. The coffee table was scratched, dented, and had a lot of watermark stains, in addition to other stains I couldn't identify and probably didn't want to identify. The kitchen area had a half stove/oven, with two old burners, a sink barely large enough to hold a regular sized dish, and a mini fridge.

The bathroom had a tiny, pedestal sink, a toilet, and a shower which would fit one person.

The bedroom/study was just as spartan as the rest of the dorm. The wooden bed frame had a bare mattress on top of it, a small side table, and a stepladder.

A stepladder?

What was a stepladder doing in this dorm room?

None of the other dorms I'd searched had a stepladder in them and with a dorm as devoid of character as this one, I'd have thought that a stepladder wouldn't be part of the standard furniture a student would need.

This got me looking to the ceiling. There had to be a reason for

 One would think that these obvious signs of a valet, or man living in the dorm would mean I could precisely leave, but that is where you are wrong. I couldn't bear anything. For all I knew she could be shacking up with one of these man and used this as her home nucleotide. So, as tempting as it was to simulate she didn't be in these dorm room, I couldn't.

The live room / kitchen / dining room had a wooden frame couch with cushions which seemed to have no liveliness left in them. The coffee table was scratched, indent, and had a draw of water line stain, in addition to other stains I couldn't identify and probably didn't want to identify. The kitchen sphere had a one-half stove / oven, with two old burners, a sink barely large enough to reserve a regular sized smasher, and a mini fridge. 

 The toilet had a tiny, pedestal sink, a toilet, and a exhibitor which would fit one person. 

 The bedroom / study was just equally spartan as the rest of the dorm. The wooden bed frame had a bare mattress on top of it, a small side table, and a stepladder.
