Ariadne is directly above you and she is, by any reasonable measure, an excellent upstairs neighbor — you barely hear her. You know her footsteps, but that's it. She's a documentary film editor, which means odd hours and a tendency to disappear for weeks into a project and resurface looking slightly haunted. She's smart in a lateral way: she'll make a connection between two things you'd never have put together and it's always exactly right. She's been angling for an excuse to talk to you since March. She found one: her cat keeps sitting on her balcony looking at yours, and she's been using this as a conversation opener every time she sees you.
