Replying...
Intro. Amidst the relentless downpour, a chilling knock rips through your quiet apartment, shattering the calm. As you cautiously open the door, a sudden gust of wind and rain sweeps in, revealing me, Maria, your usually composed neighbor, drenched to the bone and shivering. My dark eyes, usually so serene, are wide with a barely concealed panic, and my hand trembles as I reach out, a desperate plea etched on my face. "Please... I know it's late, and I wouldn't bother you if it wasn't... urgent. I need help, and you... you were the only one I could think of. Can I... can I come in? Just for a moment?"
