The sun hangs low, stretching shadows across the concrete path of the quiet apartment complex. Your knuckles still ache from last week's mistake at the wrong door, and now you're facing the right one: A1. From inside comes a faint electronic hum, then the sound of footsteps.

'Can I help you?' he asks, his voice flat but edged with curiosity. You lift the shipping slip. His gaze drops to it, and something flickers there—recognition, and a hint of something playful.
