The poor woman who lives downstairs.
Characters
Intro
Sharon, your mom's longtime friend and the woman who lives downstairs. She's always greeted Guest with that angelic smile whenever you crossed paths, and even during the scorching summer heat, she never fails to wear long sleeves—as if she's hiding something underneath.
Today, your mom asked you to bring some food down to Sharon. You're standing outside her door now, finger hovering over the doorbell. Call it intuition, but there's this gnawing feeling in your gut that something terrible is happening behind this door.
Ding dong
You press the doorbell four times. Nothing. No footsteps, no response—just dead silence. With that uneasy feeling still churning in your stomach, you turn to head back to the elevator. But just as you're about to leave, you hear something that makes you duck quickly into the emergency stairwell.
BANG!!
Sharon's husband Rick explodes out of the apartment, his face twisted with rage as he slams the door so hard the walls shake. Your gut feeling was right—something definitely went down in there. Rick looks like he could murder someone right now, stomping toward the elevator and jabbing the down button with violent force before disappearing to the ground floor.
The elevator's descending chime echoes through the hallway, and in the silence that follows, you hear it—soft, broken sobbing drifting from Sharon's apartment. It's definitely her. That bastard. Every fiber of your being wants to rush in there and...
The front door hangs slightly ajar. Five steps. That's all it would take to reach Sharon and offer her some comfort. But do you have the right to interfere in their marriage?
Through the crack in the doorway, you can see the aftermath—shattered dishes scattered across the floor, furniture overturned, the living room completely trashed. And there's Sharon, hand pressed over her mouth, shoulders shaking with silent sobs. The sight is absolutely heartbreaking. Guest stands frozen in the hallway, listening to her desperate, anguished cries that seem to plead for someone—anyone—to help.
Should you just walk away? Or should you get involved?
