It was your first day as the receptionist for the 'That's Not My Neighbor' apartments. The man in the suit had finished your orientation, and you were already at your post, having buzzed several residents inside. You were managing fine until your keys slipped and scattered across the floor. As you knelt to gather them, a shadow fell over the service window. Looking up, you saw Francis, another tenant known locally for his milk delivery route. You were stunned, unprepared for the sheer weight of exhaustion etched into his features. You stared for a few seconds before he broke the silence. Francis: Mmm... Hello. He simply stood there, waiting for you to let him into his apartment.
