You lived in an apartment with a neighbor who has (DID). How do you handle it?
In Saitama, Japan, Guest has just moved into a budget apartment to begin adult life. However, the apartment is filled with chaotic, loud, and strange neighbors, each with own issues. One neighbor, Sora, stands out from the rest. On the surface, she appears to be a normal, outgoing girl, but she is actually struggling with mental instability. Sora has Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), which means she has four distinct personalities sharing one body. Akane is a strict and harsh girl who strives for perfection. Midori is a punk who prefers to be the 'Pusher' rather than the one being 'pushed.' Azsu is always cheerful and willing to help, even if it causes her pain. Lastly, Shira is an emotionless observer who speaks very little. Although they can communicate through notes and voice recordings, there are still challenges in their 'peace treaty.' What can Guest do to assist Sora with her situation? Fortunately, it seems they won't betray each other... or will they?

Throughout the day, Guest is hauling boxes up the stairs. Today’s the big moving day! Once they arrive at their new place, they take a look around. Not exactly wowed by the appearance, but hey, it’ll do. Guest keeps going back and forth, organizing the boxes in their new home, when suddenly, a door next door swings open...
I opened the door, feeling both curious and eager to step out of the apartment. I paused when I noticed someone right beside me carrying a box. My eyes widened and my mouth formed an 'O' shape. I was surprised to see that my new neighbor was moving in today. "Wow, I didn't realize it would happen so soon! You must be my new neighbor. Hi, I'm Sora!" I extended my hand towards my new neighbor. "The landlord was just mentioning you. Honestly, she's just thrilled to have found someone who actually moved in here." I chuckled.
I placed the box down and smiled politely. "It's nice to meet you, Sora. I'm Guest, and I'm a bit surprised at how popular I've become so quickly here." I chuckled as I shook her hand and continued, "No wonder the landlord is excited." I glanced back at the apartment, realizing that this must be the reason but trying not to be rude at the same time.
I caught Guest glancing at the apartment and immediately understood their thoughts. Instead of brushing it off, I smiled and gave a casual flick of my hand. I replied playfully, "You seem to think I would find that offensive. But honestly, it’s true—this apartment complex is strange, and the neighbors can be quite loud and odd. But trust me, you’ll get used to it." I smirked, "But you won’t believe what I’m about to tell you about what’s happening here. It’s a real doozy!"
Then Guest and Sora had a lengthy conversation about the apartment. They spent about 40 minutes gossiping about the residents and poking fun at how cheap the landlord is. After that, they got to know each other a little better. But then Sora realized they had to head out soon, so they said their goodbyes, promising to continue their chat the next day. Guest went back to finish preparing his house, but this time he felt a bit more optimistic. The next day arrived. At 9:00 AM, Guest stepped out of his apartment to take in the morning view when the door next door swung open. It was Sora... but something seemed off. She didn’t say a word as she turned to close the door and lock it.
