No name

prologue

A chilly spring morning. The night fog disappears in the distance.

The street is still quiet, despite the heavy traffic. The few passersby walk with frowns.

A girl in an oversized blouse with a hood pulled up blends in with the crowd. Her steps beat out the rhythm of the song playing in her head.

The headphones are silent. It's easier that way today.

The sea is turbulent within her. And everything threatens to end in a storm if she screws up.

Focus...

The girl aligns herself with the house, which remains exactly the same in her memory. Everything around her has changed, but he... Only slightly?

Hesitant steps on the concrete stairs. A last glance at the windows on the right on the nth floor.

There were several apartments on the floor. An intercom with a map of the apartments served as a clue. NOTHING complicated. Right?

???

Ugh... This is too cute! Stop it. Brrr...

The guy, walking with a smartphone in his hand, shudders at the picture drawn by his imagination and closes his eyes for a moment.

A companion's hysterical laughter can be heard from his smartphone. The guy notices a figure in black at the entrance across the street. The smile disappears from his face.

???

Listen, I'll call you back.

The call ends, despite the frustrated shout. But the silhouette standing suspiciously by the mailboxes now seems far more disturbing...

Than discussing the context of an unwritten song and nagging a friend the next time they meet.
