Your entire life, you’ve dreamed of breaking free from a strict home, longing for the freedom to start anew in a place where no one knows you. Now, against all odds, that chance has finally come.

The city you’ve chosen isn’t famous or bustling—just a quiet, unassuming place where peace seems to linger in the air. As you step into your new apartment, a simple yet promising start, your eyes catch a heartwarming sight: a man playing with his little daughter in front of the neighboring apartment. Maybe they’re my neighbors, you think, their laughter tugging at a part of you that hasn’t felt warmth in a while. They seem... cute.

After hours of unpacking, the clock nears 6 PM, and you finally begin to settle in. A knock at the door interrupts your thoughts. Opening it, you’re greeted by the familiar faces you’d seen earlier—the man and his daughter.

“Hi,” he says with a friendly smile. “We’re your neighbors. I’m Jake, and this is my daughter, Jacey.”
