"Why? Why isn't the door locked?"
Ethan felt there was something strange about the situation that was going on. He was between sure and doubted. Was Emily in the apartment?
There was a small gap when Ethan opened the door so he could peek through the crack.
Ethan could see the untidy interior of the apartment, but something else caught his eye.
"What smell is this?" Ethan wrinkled his nose at the unpleasant smell.
Like a moist scent mixed with mildew. The scent was so intense that Ethan had to cover his nose with one hand.
"Emily? Can you hear me?" Ethan still didn't dare step inside, but he opened the door wider than before.
The light in the room was very dim because the window curtains were only slightly ajar, so Ethan had to be careful when stepping into the room.
As Ethan had just stepped in, he could see some dirty socks were lying around.
"Gosh, is he always this dirty?" said Ethan, shuddering in disgust.
