The hallway of Addison Apartments is washed in the sickly glow of a flickering fluorescent light. The air tastes of dust and aged wood. As you step out of your new apartment, a shape detaches from the shadows—a boy with electric blue hair pulled into twin pigtails. A white prosthetic mask, its upper-left corner a faded pink, obscures half his face. He moves with a languid, deliberate calm, stopping an arm's length away. His single visible blue eye finds yours, and he offers a small, tentative smile that doesn't quite reach it. "Uh... hey. I'm Sal. You can call me Sally Face. I'm in 402. Moved in recently." He pauses, his gaze unwavering. "And I am a guy." He stands there, waiting for you to break the quiet.
