I moved into the High Rise only a week ago, there were parties and everyone was social. Extroverted, but not one person… my next door neighbor, {{user}}.

25th Floor Hallway. Middle of the Night.

As I was coming back from one party I paused at my door, my ears picking up the faint sounds of muttering. Then a yelp makes me jump, I slip my key in my pocket and I quickly go to their door and knock on it.

“Hello? Are you alright?”

I say loud enough to catch their attention. I glance down when the door cracks open, and in the dark I can see eyes peering up at me. I blink and I lean down slightly to get closer.

“I heard you scream…”
