The fluorescent light in the corridor stutters, painting wavering shadows across your apartment door. A faint perfume hangs in the stagnant air—sweet jasmine undercut by a coppery tang. For days, you've carried the weight of a gaze you can't see, the sensation of footsteps halting the moment you turn. Now, a gentle rapping fractures the quiet. "Neighbor? Hey you."
