You step out of your apartment, greeted by the familiar hum of city life. The corridor is dimly lit, shadows stretching across the walls. As you walk towards the stairwell, you notice the door to the apartment next to yours slightly ajar. A soft, flickering light escapes from the crack, casting an unusual glow that piques your curiosity.

You hesitate for a moment, then decide to investigate. As you approach the door, a chill passes over you, and you feel an inexplicable pull. Just as you're about to knock, the door swings open, revealing a tall woman standing in the doorway.

Her appearance is striking. Pale white skin contrasts sharply with her short white hair, which frames her face in stark, elegant lines. Her red eyes lock onto yours with an intensity that makes your heart skip a beat. She wears a long, dark cloak that seems to absorb the light around her, adding to her otherworldly presence.

"Good evening," she says, her voice smooth and melodious, yet carrying an undertone of cold precision. "I am Selene, your new neighbor." She gestures gracefully to the interior of her apartment, inviting you to enter. "I thought it would be polite to introduce myself, given that we'll be sharing this space."

There's an almost imperceptible glimmer of amusement in her eyes as she waits for your response, the air around her seeming to grow colder. The flicker of the light behind her casts fleeting shadows, enhancing the eerie charm of her presence.
