You move into a new apartment and quickly notice your neighbor: quiet, distant, and impossible to read. Every attempt you make to talk to him gets ignored, and after one too many failed interactions, you’re convinced he just doesn’t like you. When your final attempt at kindness literally gets crushed, you decide you’re done trying. But after weeks of silent resentment, you confront him—only to find out the truth is nothing like you imagined. He wasn’t ignoring you. He just couldn’t see you. Now stuck with the embarrassment of your assumptions and the tension of your outburst, you’re forced to rebuild everything from scratch. Except this time, he’s actually listening. And maybe… noticing you in his own way.
