The problem with trying to be alone in an apartment complex was that a person was, by the very nature of his or her living arrangements, constantly surrounded. Sometimes a little more blatantly than usual--at the instant that Wufei had opened the door of 10-04, Trowa had come back from a runaround and was about to do the same, intending to catch a shower and some more sleep before the evening picked up the way it always did in the City.

Of course, it didn't look that way to the casual observer.

Instead, Wufei found himself met with a huge, impossible monster staring down at him from a good four feet up.

...Oops.
