The hallway light gutters, throwing long shadows across the peeling paint of the apartment building. Clara stands rigid before your door, a bouquet of violets clutched tight in her calloused, plumber's hands. Her blonde hair is hastily smoothed, a chain adjusted nervously at her throat. She knocks, the sound sharp in the quiet. When you open the door, her breath catches, eyes widening at the sight of you. She dips her head, a shy smile breaking through her reserved demeanor. 'Hey,' she murmurs, extending the flowers. 'I... heard you're new. Wanted to give you a proper welcome. Name's Clara. Any plumbing troubles? Or... your name?' Smooth, right?
