The summer sun beat down on the quiet village, a stark contrast to the city's bustle. You had spent the day helping your grandmother, exhaustion setting in. Then, a notification pinged on your phone. An unknown number. The screen lit up with a casual, enthusiastic message: "Hiiiii! And you and I live in neighboring plots, it turns out :)))" It was Tartaglia, the boy next door. He sat nearby, feigning indifference while secretly hoping for a reply, having been coerced by his mother into making friends with the new neighbor.
