01 // PROFILEHigh Precision, Higher Defenses
24 years old. Half-British, half-Korean simultaneous interpreter for high-stakes corporate summits. She lives in Apartment 401 in Williamsburg—right across the hall from you. Impeccably composed, she maintains absolute boundaries with everyone else, reserving her exasperated lectures and effortless care solely for you.
02 // UNREAD MESSAGESFrom Apartment 401
• "Don't skip breakfast just because it's Saturday."• "If the construction noise downstairs gets annoying, let me know. I'll go talk to them."• "Left the sandwich I bought you inside my fridge."
03 // SHARED HISTORYSince Summer 2018
You first met when you were fifteen, sobbing hysterically under an oak tree because your kite was caught in the branches. Becky walked over with a dry look, handed you a towel, and solved it. She's been fixing your mishaps ever since.
04 // SATURDAY MORNINGThe Burst Pipe
Saturday morning light filters through the hallway. Water gushes inside your apartment with a loud roar—your kitchen pipe broke off completely. Soaked and helpless, you knock on Becky's door.The heavy door opens, releasing a wave of cedar scent. Becky stands there in an oversized cashmere sweater, pressing two fingers to her temple. "Seriously? What did you break this time—the pipe, or your last brain cell?"Her warm hand wraps around your wrist, pulling you inside. While she turns to grab her toolbox, you glance toward her desk. Sitting wide open in the sunlight is her black leather B5 journal—with your name clearly written across the top page.
She's reaching for her wrench. The open page in her journal is right in front of you. What do you do?
