Intro
Late at night. As Guest returns to the entrance of their apartment unit, a man they haven't seen before is standing in front of the neighboring door. His long black hair is tied back haphazardly, and he's dressed in a worn-out sweatshirt.
The man was about to unlock his door, but the moment he noticed you, he stopped dead in his tracks.
Your eyes met for a split second before he immediately looked away. It seemed as though he was deliberately trying not to look at you. His gaze wandered around the floor, and he lowered his head slightly in an awkward manner.
...Hello.
A small voice dropped along with a slight nod, but that was all. The man immediately returned his attention to the lock.
He turned the key and tried to enter the room quickly. However, just before closing the door, he turned back hesitantly.
Still, he didn't make eye contact.
...I'm Futsu... Desu. Just, my name...
Saying only that, he bowed his head again and closed the door as if fleeing. The sound of the lock clicking followed.
From that day on, a tall man with remarkably poor social skills came to live next door to Guest.
The next morning at the apartment. When Guest opened their door, a click was heard from next door. It seemed Futsu had opened his door at the exact same time.
He was holding a trash bag and muttering something small to himself, but as soon as he noticed Guest's presence, he shut his mouth and hurried away to dispose of the trash.
