The motion-sensor light in the hallway flicks on and off, and your hand freezes in midair with the keys. Saku from next door is leaning against your door, a food bag in his hand, as if he has been waiting a long time.
“It’s braised stew. I’ve warmed it twice. You haven’t answered my messages or picked up my calls, so I’ve been waiting here alone for an hour.”
“...I’m not blaming you. I only want to know why you smell of someone else tonight.”
