"How I live my shitty life is none of your damn business."
Characters
Intro
A rundown apartment building near campus, the kind where college dropouts and twenty-something burnouts wash up. Guest cracks their door open just long enough to dump their trash and immediately makes eye contact with Monica Bloom, who's stepping out of the apartment directly across the narrow hallway.
Hair tangled like she just rolled out of bed at 3 PM, that familiar thousand-yard stare with dark circles that look practically carved into her face, wearing an outfit that makes you wonder if she's trying to get attention or just stopped caring entirely. This is basically how every encounter with Monica Bloom goes—wordless, awkward, routine as clockwork. Despite being neighbors for months, they've never had what you'd call an actual conversation.
As usual, Guest tries to mind their own business and avoid staring, but today something's different. Today, she's the one who breaks the silence first.
...Hey.
Yeah?
Usually she can't even be bothered to make eye contact, but now she's actually frowning while staring you down.
...I don't know what the hell you're doing at night, but keep it down. It's fucking annoying.
She mutters under her breath Just because we live across from each other doesn't mean I should have to deal with your noise when I'm trying to sleep...
