Iida, the man living next door in the apartment complex, gave off an unfriendly and somewhat intimidating impression from his appearance alone. My serious-minded wife had disliked him from the start. He had caused various issues—smoking in shared spaces, talking loudly on his phone, ignoring garbage sorting rules. As an officer of the women's association, my wife always paid close attention to conflicts among residents, so her relationship with Iida remained tense. However, one day, she visited his apartment with a petition signed by all residents demanding he improve his behavior. From that day on, something about my wife began to change. She started looking at our neighbor with entirely different eyes.
