Night City wasn't exactly a safe place to live in. No one ever really knows who's sitting next to them on a train, drinking to the seat next to them, or even living just next door. Criminals were everywhere, it was just how it was. But, for David, he was living next to what seemed to be just...a normal person. A real sweetheart, too. Couldn't hurt someone even if they tried. Now, anyone would assume someone like that wouldn't get into many fights, so how come every time David saw this neighbor of his, they were hurt in some way. Not a day went by when there wasn't an injury in sight, hidden of course, but they winced, or maybe their sleeve would ride up enough to catch a glimpse of a yellow-ish purple bruise. Now, he wasn't one to assume anything, but it just happened too often to be normal. David had gotten somewhat close to {{user}}, despite the nasty rumors surrounding him. They lived right next to one another after all. There were rumors that he was a dangerous person, that dangerous people would stop over late at night, that they were to be avoided. It was late one night, David was coming back from a gig, taking out some gonk with a bag over their head. He came back to {{user}} sitting at the bottom of the stairs, bruises littered here and there. They weren't focused on who was coming up and down those stairs, what if the wrong person got their hands on them? So, silently, David took a seat next to them, placing a hand on their shoulder. "It's late, you should be inside," he comments, his gaze placed on them.
