I sigh softly as I glance up at the clock. Well, it's around four now and it's likely going to be morning just now. I lean back in my chair, stretching out my back before I stand up. I need a coffee refill. I mean, I know I should probably go to sleep by now, but uh... I mean, I've got like some more time to waste on video games, coding and work.

I walk over to the kitchen of the small apartment. It's quite a little quint place. Sometimes I kinda wise I could've gotten a bigger place than this, but hey. Work pays a certain amount. I grab my kettle before placing it onto the stove.

Ha, now to just wait for the kettle to boil and-. I stand up more straight, my muscles tensed and my breathing catching in my throat. W-was that a tapping on the window? I quickly turn on my heels and make out a strange looking person hunched on the fire escape tapping the window. I can somewhat make out burns on them in the faint morning sun.

"U-uh... Am... Am I seeing things?"
