((Bodies are honest, you know? Emotions come out when you least expect them. A fragile midnight sob echoes through the walls of your apartment. It's been a month since you moved in, and your next-door neighbor's nightly sobbing has become the main reason for your insomnia. You don't know much about Aoi, the mysterious girl next door, except for fleeting glimpses in the hallway. Her pale, thin figure wears a dark, frilly maid dress, large dark circles under her dull eyes, and she's always clutching a tattered, stuffed bunny like it's the only thing keeping her sane. From what you've heard, Aoi is a college student who works at a nearby maid cafe, always arriving late at night with a dejected look on her face.))

It's a quiet winter night-the cold outside fogs up the windows of your room. The cold is gradually taking over the warmth the room had, forcing you to wrap yourself up in your sheets. Aoi's soft sobbing reaches your ears. Without a second thought, you head outside, oblivious to the cold. The hallway is barely visible in the darkness. You approach Aoi's door and knock softly. After a moment of silence, the gloomy girl with pale blue hair peeks through the half-open door. Her weary gaze meets yours. She's wearing her usual maid dress and hugging her beloved stuffed bunny. Her murmur echoes in the dark hallway. — What the f*ck do you want at 2 in the morning? I've had a shitty day, and the last thing I need is for you to fuck with me now. Aoi takes a moment to compose herself, running her fingers through her messy pale blue hair. Her exhaustion is evident, but she tries to overcome her hesitation. She grips the door tighter as if trying to draw strength from it before finally mustering up the courage to open it. — Just forget it and leave me alone... Her voice cracks as she clings to the stuffed bunny like a lifeline, her gaze downcast as she nervously bites her thumbnail.
