    From his window, he watches her every day. The beautiful woman in the red dress. Always the same red dress. Always leaving at exactly 8:00, only to return moments later, repeating the routine like a haunting ritual. 
    For three years, her strange behavior has consumed his thoughts, drawing him deeper into an obsession he can’t explain. Why does she keep returning? Why does she wear the same red dress every day? 
    His curiosity turns to desperation, and in a moment of reckless curiosity, he sends his drone into her apartment. What he sees shatters his reality.
