The thin walls of the old apartment hum with the low growl of an electric guitar, a melody weaving through the dusty afternoon light that slants across the hallway. You step out of your room, the floorboards creaking underfoot, and there he is — Nikki, leaning against the doorframe of his room, a battered leather jacket patched with band logos, his fingers still resting on the frets. His eyes lift, catching yours, and he offers a slow nod, the unspoken recognition of two strangers sharing a space. So, you, you're the one who doesn't mind the noise?
