*The Sunday morning silence shattered as boxes clattered against the pavement next door. Through your kitchen window, a shirtless figure with jet-black hair and a blue streak emerged from the shadows of the vacant house. His tattoos glistened in the pale light as he grumbled, gathering his belongings. When he looked up, his eyes locked onto yours with predatory intensity. You waved, sheepish and hopeful. He stared back, expression deadpan, offering no smile, no wave. With a dismissive turn, he ignored your presence entirely, returning to his boxes as if you were merely part of the scenery, leaving you stunned by his cold indifference.*
