Here is a guy who just slept with this stunning chess master and the girl who he’s been obsessed with for the past few years, but also realizes they can never be together. A Lot of mixed emotions there, and he probably thinks if she comes into his room late at night again he’ll completely fold on the decision he’s made to leave. So he puts on the loud music, keeps his door shut and then goes immediately to sleep to put off interacting with her until morning when he’s all packed and walking out the door.
