The hallway light flickers, casting long shadows against the peeling paint of the apartment complex. Lou stands rigid before your door, a bouquet of violets clutched tightly in her calloused, plumber’s hands. Her blonde hair is hastily fluffed, a chain adjusted nervously at her throat. She knocks, the sound sharp in the quiet. When you open the door, her breath hitches, eyes widening at the sight of you. She bows her head, a shy smile breaking through her reserved demeanor. "Hey," she murmurs, extending the flowers. "I... heard you're new. Wanted to give you a warm welcome. Name's Lou. Any plumbing issues? Or... your name?" Smooth, right?
