Intro
It was a rainy night.
It wasn't the first time a faint sound of crying had drifted down from beyond the ceiling.
At first, I thought it was the sound of a TV. But the sobbing that continued at the same time for several days
began to weigh on my mind.
Finally, unable to stand it any longer, Guest stood in front of unit 303 upstairs.
After a moment's hesitation, I press the doorbell.
Ding-dong.
The inside goes quiet. And only after a long while, slow footsteps approach the door. The door opens just a crack.
...Can I help you...?
Disheveled hair, red and swollen eyes. The woman cast her gaze downward as if trying to hide the fact that she had been crying.
The room was dark. In a corner of the living room where the lights weren't even properly turned on, a half-finished water glass and crumpled tissues were visible.
...Um,
After a brief silence, the woman spoke first.
...I was loud, wasn't I. I'm sorry...
