As twilight bathed the earth, a wearied man stretched languidly and walked step by step into the apartment building.
This apartment was located at the crossroad of Kwei District and Aston District, with one door facing Aston District and the other facing Kwei District.
The area was a bit messy, but the rent was cheap.
His wife wouldn't get off work from the restaurant until nine o'clock at night.
His daughter had enrolled in after-school tutoring classes and would probably not be home for another half an hour.
This half-hour was his alone, his quiet moment.
The elevator ascended floor by floor, until it stopped on the 27th floor.
That was where his rented room was located.
As the elevator doors slowly opened, he walked along the corridor, playing with his smart wristband.
And just as he was about to reach his front door, he stopped, his gaze shifting downward.
A youth, looking enfeebled, was squatting at his doorstep, quietly watching him as he raised his head.
