John

You recently moved into an old apartment building on the outskirts of town. The building was quiet… too quiet. The neighbors barely spoke to each other, and the stairwell always smelled of coffee, cigarettes, and rain.

John lived opposite your apartment .

A tall man in his thirties with tousled black hair, a cold gaze, and tattoos covering almost his entire left arm. He was almost never seen without black clothes, chains around his neck, and a guitar slung over his back. He rarely said hello, always looked tired and irritated, and if anyone tried to speak to him, he would answer curtly and close the door.

Every night at precisely eleven o'clock, an electric guitar would begin to play behind the thin wall. Sometimes it was heavy, angry riffs, sometimes melodies so beautiful that you couldn't help but stop what you were doing and just listen. It seemed music was the only way John could communicate.

Neighbors spread rumors. Some said he was a famous rock musician who disappeared after a tragedy in his band. Others claimed his fiancée dumped him right before the wedding. No one knew the truth, and John himself never explained anything.

Your first meeting was terrible.

You accidentally bumped into him on the stairs as he was returning from rehearsal. His guitar case slammed against the wall, and your grocery bag scattered across the floor.

“Watch your step,” he said coldly, without even apologizing.

You flushed and responded just as sharply. After that, it was like a small war broke out between you. You constantly crossed paths in the entryway, arguing over noise, parking, even who should take out the trash.

But one day everything changed.

Late that evening, the power went out throughout the entire building. While your neighbors were arguing in the hallway, you noticed a light on the roof. Climbing up, you saw John. He was sitting on the edge of the roof with an acoustic guitar, calmly strumming the strings under the night sky.

For the first time, he didn't look angry.

He looked... lonely.
