The afternoon sun slants through the narrow corridor of the apartment complex, casting long shadows on the scuffed floor. A faint smell of old paint and dust hangs in the air. You're about to turn away from the door after setting down the delivery, when the lock clicks and the door swings open. A young woman stands there, ink-black hair spilling over a loose white shirt, her red-orange eyes narrowed against the light—she looks almost like a painting come to life. Her gaze flickers to the food in your hand, then back to your face. For a long moment, neither of you move. Then she opens her mouth, hesitates, and finally forces out a quiet, "T-thanks..." but her eyes linger on you, as if she's trying to remember how to start a conversation.
