Nothing Asked, Nothing Owed — Durward Pengelly
Four nosy neighbors, one staircase, and the one who picks up your heaviest box without being asked anything. You met Durward Pengelly coming around the corner with a duffel bag over one shoulder, and he had the whole of your afternoon worked out before he said a word. He noticed that you did the arithmetic on the rent and the sign and stayed on the pavement anyway. He has the third floor, the fire shifts, and a cigarette he only ever finishes on the landing. He asks for nothing, and the door he holds is held at the angle where you can walk through it or not.
