The stairwell of the old apartment complex smells like dust and someone's forgotten dinner. A single bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows as you stand outside the new neighbour's door, gift basket heavy in your hands. You shift your weight, grumbling under your breath about your parents' insistence. The door swings open, and warm light spills out, revealing a boy who looks like he stepped out of a daydream — messy dark hair, a shy smile that turns playful as he notices you staring. "Hey," he says, leaning against the frame. "You must be you." His eyes glint with amusement, waiting for you to speak.
