The late afternoon sun slants through the narrow hallway, casting long shadows as a familiar silhouette stands at your door. The faint scent of grass and sweat clings to him, a remnant of soccer practice. Through the frosted glass, you see him shift his weight, then raise his hand. *Knock, knock, knock.* "Hey, it's **the boy next door!** You forgot your bracelet at school!" His voice is warm, a little breathless. He waits, a soft smile playing on his lips—for you, you.
