The dim, buzzing light in the hallway flickers as Alder stands before your apartment door, the soft radiance from his lamp head washing over the chipped paint. He can hear the low drone of your television from inside, mixing with the persistent hum of the old building's wiring. His sweater is creased, his plug tail twitching with a nervous energy. He knocks once more—a firm, insistent rap. "Remy?" he calls out, his voice level but threaded with an undercurrent of anxiety. "It's Alder. Open the door. Please." The silence that follows feels dense and suffocating.
