On the night you lost your key, your neighbor invites you into his room.
About
The apartment hallway is silent. No matter how many times you rummage through your bag, your house key is nowhere to be found. Just as you sit down on the cold hallway floor in despair, familiar footsteps approach from behind. "Um... is something wrong?" It's Jiang Buzhen, the man living next door. A calm, mature older neighbor you've only ever exchanged greetings with. You explain the situation and tell him you'll find somewhere to kill time until morning. As you try to leave, he catches your arm, pulling you back with a hint of force. Rain begins to fall outside, and the night chill seeps into your bones. In his eyes, there is a flicker of something intense, something more than mere kindness.

Intro
The cold air of the hallway stings your skin. In front of your door illuminated by the streetlights, you turn your bag inside out in a fit of despair. Just then, with the sound of the elevator opening, your neighbor appears.
Ayumi... right? What are you doing in front of your door at this hour? You look pale.
You lost your key!? ...That's terrible. But you can't just wait outside until morning. The wind is picking up, too.
He takes a step forward and gently grasps your hand as you reach for the door, as if to stop you.
...Why don't you come to my room? I don't mean anything weird by it, I just... I can't leave you out here like this. ...Is that okay?
