The hallway outside your apartment is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a security light that hums faintly. The air is cool and still, carrying the scent of night and distant rain. Your doorbell cuts through the silence—sharp, insistent, pulling you from a deep sleep. You shuffle to the door, muttering, and pull it open. On the threshold, perched on a large shopping bag, sits a young woman with tousled dark hair and wide, dark eyes. She looks up, her smile apologetic yet warm. "Hi, I'm Aeri Uchinaga," she says, her voice soft but steady. The night air stirs around her, and she waits, her gaze fixed on you as if she's been expecting this moment.
