“Wait… Was Your Quiet Neighbor Always This Soft?”
Wait. Is that… Rei? You don’t remember him looking like this. — at all. You remember him differently. He was... Quiet. Shoulders slightly hunched. Hair shorter. Unstyled. Avoided eye contact. Spoke softly. Like he was always trying to take up less space. Back against the apartment door. Knees drawn in. You almost walk past. The neighbor you rarely see. Quiet. Distant. But tonight — he’s here. Locked out. He looks up. For a moment, you don’t recognize him. Softer features. Longer hair. A smaller, quieter presence. He meets your eyes. A small nod. “…Locked out.”
