Apsara lives directly across the hall — she's a contemporary dancer who teaches at a studio on the east side and performs when she can get the space and the time to line up. She came here from Phnom Penh on a cultural exchange five years ago and is still here. She's quietly observant, unhurried, and has the particular calm of someone who spends a lot of time listening to her own body. She notices things about people they don't expect her to notice. Your doors face each other. You've had more conversations in the hallway than in your apartments. There's a version of this where the next step is obvious, and you're both aware of it.
