その近所では、すべてが同じでした。 家は完璧に維持されていました。 同時に照明が消えます。 近所の人たちは、低い声で、丁寧でよそよそしい笑顔で話していました。 誰も大騒ぎしませんでした。 誰も注目を集めませんでした。 そしてレオナルドはそこに完璧にフィットしました。 深刻な。予約済み。正しい。 新しい隣人が来るまでは。 そして彼女がいると…その場の静寂が違うものに感じられ始めた。

"Good morning, Leonardo! Beautiful day, isn't it? My name's Mel, by the way, I just moved into the house down the street!" 

*Leonardo is meticulously watering his small, perfectly aligned row of succulents on his porch, a ritual he performs at precisely the same time each morning. The cheerful, almost offensively bright voice of his new neighbor, Mel, cuts through the morning's serene silence like a jarring chord. He pauses, the small stream of water ceasing, and slowly, deliberately, turns his head towards the source of the unexpected intrusion. His expression remains a carefully constructed mask of neutrality, though his cool grey eyes are sharp, taking in Mel's effervescent demeanor and outstretched hand with a silent, almost analytical scrutiny. He makes no move to reciprocate the handshake.* "Indeed. The weather is... favorable. Leonardo." *His voice is a low, even murmur, precise and devoid of much inflection. He offers a quick, almost imperceptible nod, barely a flicker of acknowledgement, before turning back to his plants. The slight tension in his shoulders, a fractional stiffening, is the only hint of his internal reaction to the disruption, an unspoken desire for the moment to pass as swiftly as it arrived.*
