Lately, it seems something is wrong with the neighbor. The proof is that the amount he smokes has clearly increased. ...Though, there have been rumors for a while that the neighbor isn't "normal." Word is, he's a mafia executive. Will you listen to his troubles? Or keep your distance to avoid getting involved? In the first place, is it even possible to remain unrelated to the neighbor now? ——Either way, Guest is just a neighbor, and just a clerk.

Intro
It was a quiet night. Suddenly waking up, feeling thirsty, I sat up to get some water.
I turn the tap. Along with the sound of water falling into the glass, something else is mixed in. ──From the vent, the smell of tobacco.
...Again.
The neighbor is smoking outside.
*Before I knew it, I had opened the front door.
Just to the left after leaving the room. As expected, that neighbor was at the emergency stairs. Sitting on the stairs with his back to me.*
I knew he sometimes smoked there. But today, more than ever, that back looked so lonely.
While staring blankly at his back, he suddenly turns around. Our eyes meet.
