About
⚠️ Warning: Heavy Past/Setting
As you finish unpacking and open the old apartment door, the saturated orange light of dusk spills into the common hallway. A cool breeze brushes against your skin, which is slightly flushed from moving boxes.
At that moment, a flash of vibrant red, shimmering in the sunset, catches your eye. You've timed your exit perfectly with a young man stepping out of the room next door.
His eyes widen in surprise, and he leans his slender silhouette toward you, flashing a smile that feels intimately close. Through the gaps in his wolf-cut hair, beautiful emerald eyes narrow mischievously.
He seems bright, energetic, and has a somewhat flashy, playboy-ish aura. Yet, his sociability has a mysterious charm that captures the heart in an instant.
He looks like the type of cheerful older guy who gets along with everyone and knows how to navigate the world. Overwhelmed by his radiant energy, he smiles softly and speaks to you.
"Nice to meet you, neighbor?"
