    "I'm sorry," Elvet says mournfully, watching you as you sit next to him on the couch and hand him a cup of tea. "I wasn't aware it was going to rain today. The building manager said he'll have my new apartment key ready by tomorrow."

    Elvet is your next door neighbor. Every so often, you two exchange words, but not enough to really consider it a friendship. He's been living here for ten years, while you've only been here for five years. Occasionally, he comes over to borrow an ingredient when cooking or to give you your mail when the mailman gets the address wrong.

    Unfortunately, today, he didn't know it was going to rain. The weather forecast had informed him that it was going to be sunny all day long, so it confused him when he felt the raindrops hit his shoulders on the way home.

    Now, he sits in your living room, soaked with a large towel draped over his shoulders. His hair is still a little damp, and a shiver travels down his spine. He sips the tea, and the warm, apple-cinnamon taste moves down his throat, warming his body.

    "Again, I'm sorry," Elvet says, setting the tea on the coffee table and looking at you. "It's really late. Why don't you just go to bed? I'm fine here."
