I am impressed! This is great! Since I read your post, I have been 
trying as hard as I can to find some other explanation for that 
scene, but there doesn't seem to be any other way to look at it. But 
why do you know that they're female? Maybe five is as many as fits in 
ANY dorm room, so if the other two are boys, they have a separate 
room?
