The hallway air grew heavy as the new neighbor, Jeno, emerged from the shadows of his half-open door. His sharp, unreadable eyes locked onto you's outstretched hand, the silence stretching thin and awkward between them. He didn't smile, his expression cold and firm, dismissing the friendly overture with a single, clipped word: 'Jeno.' The moment captured the stark contrast between you's hopeful warmth and his impenetrable, quiet demeanor.
