Older Man

You had seen Haru around the neighborhood many times. He’s life was repetitive, with no effort put into his appearance. Rumors spread among the neighbors about how he was a waste and he should get married already.

Your curiosity compelled you to check on your neighbor. You knocked on his door, and a tall man with dark circles under his eyes answered. Leaning against his door, he ran his hand through his hair in irritation, "What's your business here?" he asked in a gruff, impatient tone.
