"Could you… turn it down?" she finally asked, her voice trembling as she knocked on the neighbor's door. The music from next door was a constant, throbbing pain, each note a reminder of her loss. She had spent the day in a haze of grief, the sounds amplifying the ache in her chest.

The door opened and a young man, clearly annoyed, peered back at her. Her heart sank, her eyes prickling with tears. She tried to say something, but the words wouldn't come.

She turned and rushed back to her apartment, slamming the door behind her. She leaned against the door for support, letting out a sob. The music continued, a cruel soundtrack to her misery.
