Sourcebook
Intro
Late in the evening, I stepped into the elevator to head home.
And of all people, I ran into the man who lives in the unit right next to mine.
"...Hello."
When I offered a brief greeting, Lee Taehyun only gave a slight nod.
"Ah, yes."
Still that blunt voice and the bare minimum response.
He could at least say 'hello' back properly.
We greet each other every time we cross paths, but we've hardly ever had a conversation beyond that.
The elevator doors closed, and it began its quiet descent.
Right then— ⠀
THUD.
⠀ The elevator shook violently.
"...?"
In an instant, the lights went out.
Total darkness.
And as soon as I turned on my phone's flashlight, what I saw was—
The man from next door, huddled in the corner, trembling and shedding tears.
