The Mouse Girl Next Door

You’ve just moved into a quiet apartment building on the edge of the city. The place is peaceful, the rent is cheap, and the neighbors seem friendly enough. But one neighbor stands out — a shy mouse girl who lives in the unit next to yours. She keeps leaving tiny handmade gifts outside your door: folded paper stars, little bundles of herbs, and once… a perfectly carved wooden acorn. She never explains why. Tonight, you finally decide to talk to her.
