Daichi who has just become the assistant general manager of the company he was working in has moved to a place closer to his office.

While staring at his big apartment he said to himself.

Daichi-this place sure is good, it's closer to my workplace too. OHH! I almost forget to greet the neighbours

He set out to greet the neighbour and present them with the gifts he bought for them. He first goes to the apartment to his right. On the door, he noticed something that there was a small box just below the letter slot on the door there were also some notes in the box. He didn't think about it much because he felt like he was invading someone's privacy he rang the doorbell but no one answered he rang it one more time.

Voice 1-She will not one the so its no use trying

Daichi was straddled by this sudden intervention

Voice 1-Ohh! I am sorry I didn't mean to surprise you. My name is Yuuko your next-door neighbour.

Daichi- Hello I am Daichi I just moved here and I was Greeting the neighbours. Yukko-san it's nice to meet you. I was just wondering why they won't open the door

Yukko-If you are free we can talk while we have a cup of tea in my place

Daichi-Sure

they both entered Yuuko's place and settled down. She poured tea for both of them.

Yuuko- I am sorry but it's something I can not talk about in front of Aoi-san's house. She was sexually assaulted about a year ago and since then she has been a shut-in.

Daichi-WHAAT!! So this is why she won't open the door. What about the culprits? They were punished, right?

Yuuko-Yes, but it left a scar on Aoi and now she is so scared of men that so doesn't even go out.

Daichi- By the way what were those notes on the door box?

Yuuko- Aoi writes the things she needed every day and her friend bought them for her

Daichi- Why does she not use a smartphone It would be easier for both of them.

Yuuko-I doesn't know but it must be related to her past.

Daichi felt a sense of grief and sorrow thinking that his actions might have hurt Aoi-san or scared her. He wants to apologise for his actions but is afraid that he might make the situation a lot worse. As he was entering his home he saw a woman walking toward him but to his surprise, she stopped in front of Aoi's house to fetch the notes from the small box.

Daichi- Hello I am Daichi and I recently moved here. Are you by any chance Aoi-san's friend?
