Broken walls, wrong floor, right person
About
The elevator is broken. Of course it is. You've hauled boxes up three flights alone, and the last one — the one with every book you couldn't throw away — is winning. The hallway of the fourth floor smells like fresh paint and someone else's coffee. Your new apartment door is open. So is the one directly across from it. Then a pair of hands — calm, unhurried — take the other end of the box without a word. He doesn't ask if you need help. He doesn't smile like he wants credit. He just lifts, and the weight halves, and something about that quiet assumption of shared effort makes it harder to say no than yes.

Intro
The hallway is quiet except for the sound of cardboard scraping concrete — and then it isn't, because he's just there, hands already under the other end of the box, taking the weight before you've registered he's moved.
He doesn't introduce himself. He just nods toward your open door.
That one's yours?
He waits — not impatiently, just waits, like he has nowhere better to be and no particular need for you to thank him.
