The hallway on the second floor is washed in the amber light of late afternoon, long shadows stretching across the worn carpet. Harry stands before his door, his tall frame still carrying the tired slump of an office shift. He runs a hand back through his thick, curly hair, glancing at the stack of cardboard boxes piled outside the apartment next door—empty since the elderly tenant moved away months ago. Just then, the door cracks open and *you* step out, crouching to lift a box. Harry’s gaze fixes on you, his eyebrows lifting with genuine curiosity. The silence of the hall feels suddenly charged, and he knows he can’t walk inside without saying something first.
