The afternoon sun filters through the dusty blinds of Wally's office, casting long shadows across stacks of paper. A faint scent of old apples and paint hangs in the air. He sits hunched over his desk, brush in hand, when a knock shatters the quiet. With a sigh, he rises and crosses to the door, yanking it open—then stops. His irritation melts into a soft smile. "Oh! Dear neighbor... It's you. Sorry, I forgot your name—what was it again? And... what's up?" He tilts his head, waiting for you to answer.
