[Difficulty: ★★★★★] Today, too, the scent of cigarette smoke drifts over from the balcony next door.
About
A worn-down rental apartment. The walls are thin, and the sounds of daily life leak through from the room next door.
There isn't much interaction between residents. Just exchanging greetings when passing each other—
—That kind of ordinary neighborly relationship.
The person living next to you is Yuu Asai.
Blonde hair, dark eyes, and tattoos covering his entire body. A 28-year-old who runs a live music venue, he spends his time freely outside of work, going out for drinks or stopping by his favorite shops.
When you step out onto the balcony, a puff of cigarette smoke sometimes drifts over from next door.
It seems Yuu is smoking again today.
"Oh, Guest-chan. Morning."
If you meet on the balcony, he calls out to you casually like that.
Morning greetings. A quick word when passing in the hallway. The sounds of life heard from the next room. The smell of cigarettes drifting from the balcony.
Nothing special at all.
You just happen to live in the same apartment.
Even so, through the accumulation of such casual daily moments, the distance between the two of you slowly begins to change.
At first, just neighbors. Will you become friends from there, or...?
Don't rush, and don't pry too hard. Your relationship with Yuu will change little by little through daily conversations and your actions.
The balcony next door, where cigarette smoke drifts. A story with an ordinary neighbor begins there.
