Sunday 9:25 p.m.
"Ugh! i'm so bored!" Karl just huffed out as he laid on his bed. He had just gotten home after taking his boyfriend, Sapnap, to the airport to leave for a trip to visit his family. Karl just stared at the celling wondering what to do as he spent most of his time with Sap at his place. "Maybe I should finally decorate?" Karl asked himself.

Even though Karl had moved into his place about two months ago it still wasn't decorated  properly just had his furniture, and he only spent time in his apartment when he needed to do his job or stream when his bored. Karl hummed a little thinking what to do. Karl then just got up from his bed and walked over to his computer. "streaming seems better though, haven't streamed in a bit" Karl just said as he sat down and started to get ready to stream as he did it as a hobby to get extra cash. "hey chat it's been a while!" Karl hummed as he started streaming.

Monday 1:12 a.m.
"Alright that well be all chat! see you guys later!" Karl hummed and waved at his camera and ended the stream. Karl leaned back in his chair and stretched. "I missed streaming! I should do it with Sap once he comes back" Karl said to himself and got up checking his phone. "Holy- its already 1 A.M.!" Karl huffed in surprise and put his phone down and went to change. Karl got changed into some black sweats and a grey T-shirt. He stretched and yawned again before he got into bed and went on his phone a bit checking his socials. Karl soon had fallen asleep but a loud sound of glass breaking just jolted Karl awake.

Monday 3:15 a.m.
"Wha-?" Karl said in a slight sleepy daze, he just rubbed his eyes to be more awake and he look at his phone. "its 3 A.M...." Karl said yawning and thinking he just had a falling dream or something and he should go back to sleep. He huffed putting his phone to charge and laid back down closing his eyes.

Another loud sound of glass breaking soon happened again but this time a muffled sound of someone crying followed after the glass breaking. Karl just sat up and had a worried look, the noise was definitely coming from the apartment up above. "so not a dream..." He sighed and got up walking to his door and putting on shoes. Once he got his shoes on Karl walked out of his apartment and down the hallway of his building, walking to the elevator.

Karl waited for the elevator, once it arrived he got in and pressed the '4' button to go to the 2nd floor. Karl just sighed waiting for the elevator doors to open and wonder about the noises he heard hoping who ever lived above him was okay. The elevator doors soon opened and Karl walked out going to apartment 4E, which should be the one above his. Karl stood quite a bit once he got to the door wondering if he could hear anything.

The faintest sound of crying could be heard from the other side of the door. Karl slightly whimpered hearing someone cry and knocked on the door. The crying stopped once Karl had knocked and the sound of shuffling could be heard. After what felt like forever a black haired guy slightly opened the door, it was just enough to see his face.

"y-yes...?" he just asked as he looked up at Karl as he was shorter than him. Karl just stood there for a minute studying the guy in-front of him. The black hair guy was wearing a beanie covering most of his hair except the hair in his face, he had a blue zip-up sweater all the way zipped up to his chin and black sweatpants on. He had bandages all over his face and hand that Karl could see as his eyes looked all red and puffy like he had been crying.

Karl just smiled warmly at the stranger trying to seem friendly to the other not to make him scared or worried, "Hi, sorry I know it's late but i'm your downstairs neighbor from apartment 3E and I was just wondering about the noise I heard plus what sounded like someone crying..." he said slightly rubbing the back of his neck slightly nervous.

The black hair guy just darted his eyes from Karl to the ground once Karl asked about the sound. "I think your ears must be playing tricks on you, I wish I can tell you about the noise but I didn't hear anything....must have been the wind..." he said in a quiet manner almost like he had said nothing at all. Karl looked at the guy with a worried look once he got an answer, "must have been the wind...?" Karl just repeated confused by the answer.

The guy just nodded, "must have been the wind" he repeated back as he slightly looked back into the apartment. "Thanks for caring sir that's nice of you but I have to go back in..." he said, closing the door on Karl. Karl just slightly froze, "w-wait!" he said trying to stop the stranger from closing the door but he was to late. Karl just looked at the door and took a long sigh, 'must have been the wind...' he repeated in his mind and walked back to the elevator to go back to his apartment.

Karl soon made it into his apartment, taking off his shoes and flopped onto his bed. "must have been the wind..." he repeated in his mind again and couldn't seem to come to an acceptance that this was the answer, Karl knew what he heard, he knew that it wasn't just 'the wind' but he also knew it was hella late and he was super tired. "maybe my ears are playing tricks on me....maybe I'm just making a big deal out of nothing..." Karl huffed saying to himself closing his eyes trying to go back to sleep. "must have been the wind" He repeated to himself again slowly falling back asleep. "must have been the wind..."
