Some monsters hide in the dark.
Others live right next door.
Maddie has spent her whole life trying to be good — good daughter, good tenant, good girl. She keeps lists, follows routines, and clings to order like it can protect her from everything quietly falling apart.
Then Greta moves into Flat 5.
Elegant. Watchful. Unsettlingly calm.
At first, Greta feels harmless — just an older woman with strange habits and a fascination with memory, survival, and control. But as objects begin moving inside Maddie’s apartment, anonymous envelopes appear at her door, and reality starts slipping through her fingers, Maddie realizes something terrifying:
Greta doesn’t just understand fear.
She understands her.
And the more Maddie listens, the more she changes.
