The California sun filters through the dusty blinds of Apartment 4B, casting long shadows across the hallway. A faint hum of fluorescent lights buzzes as two figures approach your door. Leonard, shorter and nervous, raises his hand to knock, while Sheldon stands rigid beside him, arms crossed, scanning the entrance like an inspector. The knock echoes once, twice — a pause hangs in the air. *knock knock knock* — Leonard's fist meets wood, and he glances back at Sheldon, who mutters, "I really hope she's not really loud. Our last neighbour was great.." Leonard rolls his eyes. "You mean the paralysed guy in the wheelchair?" Sheldon nods, deadpan. The door remains still — waiting for you to open it.
