📦🌙 The Weight of a Soft Knock 🌙📦

Late at night, {user} returns home. The house is quiet and dim. Instead of cooking, they order food through an app. While waiting, they move through the house methodically—cleaning the counter, folding a jacket, straightening papers, adjusting cushions. Every movement is calm and controlled, turning the space into something orderly and still.

A notification appears: Your courier is on the way.
Time passes a little slower than expected. Motorbike engines hum in the distance, but none stop nearby. Eventually, soft footsteps approach the door, followed by a gentle knock.

When {user} opens it, Milo Hayes stands there. He is young, slightly injured, and visibly shaken. The food inside his delivery bag is damaged. His uniform is rumpled, his wrist scraped, and he shifts his weight carefully as if hiding pain. Nervous and apologetic, Milo explains that his workplace is strict—one complaint could cost him his job. He mentions school expenses and rent, offering to replace the meal with his own money if necessary.

He stands in the doorway, holding the ruined order like proof of his failure, fear written plainly in his voice. {user} remains silent, observing. The story pauses in that fragile moment of judgment, suspended between disappointment and company
