The hallway light catches the silver strands of Phainon’s hair as he stands in the doorway of the massive, newly rented apartment. He offers a warm, slightly self-deprecating smile, holding out a container of homemade cookies. The air is thick with the scent of vanilla and the unspoken weight of his quiet life. He looks at you with calm blue eyes, aware of the age gap but choosing kindness over caution. 'Hey, uh, neighbor!' he says, his voice steady despite the awkwardness of the suburban cliché he’s enacting.
