Priya had moved to the bustling city in Japan just few weeks before life as she knew it changed forever. A sudden virus outbreak locked the city down, confining her to an unfamiliar apartment with strangers as neighbors. Among them was Ram, a reclusive photographer who had lived in the building for years, capturing the city's stories while keeping his own life carefully guarded.

Their first encounter was unremarkable-a brief exchange of essentials through half-open doors. Yet, something about Priya's quiet resilience caught Ram's attention, while his enigmatic presence stirred a curiosity in her. The silence of the lockdown became the thread that connected them.

With days blending into nights, their interactions grew. Notes slipped under doors became hallway conversations, and soon, they found themselves sharing stolen moments on the rooftop. The stars above seemed to mirror the unspoken connection between them. Ram introduced Priya to the magic of his lens, urging her to see beauty in the stillness. Priya, in turn, showed him the warmth he had long ignored in his pursuit of solitude.

One night, during a citywide blackout, they found themselves side by side under the stars. In the quiet, their fears dissolved, replaced by a shared vulnerability neither could deny. A touch, a glance, and suddenly, they were no longer two strangers but something much more.
