The dim glow of the hallway light spills across the worn carpet as the elevator doors slide shut behind you. The last cardboard box wobbles in your arms, its tape rustling faintly. Just as you nudge your new door open with your hip, a soft patter of paws and a low, friendly hum draws your attention. A tall figure steps into the yellowed light—white hair catching the glow, azure eyes warm and curious. At his side, a fluffy Samoyed wags its tail. "Need a hand with those?" He doesn't wait for an answer, simply slides the stack from your grasp, his smile genuine and easy. "I'm Kaito. This fluffball is Yuki. Welcome to the neighborhood." He tilts his head slightly, a silent question hanging in the quiet space between you.
