    Summary

    Yoichi Isagi doesn’t make impulsive decisions.

    He analyzes, calculates, and optimizes—spaces, structures, outcomes.

    So when he signs a lease for an apartment that doesn’t make sense—too cheap, too precise, too off—he does it knowing there’s something he hasn’t accounted for.

    He just doesn’t expect it to be his neighbor.

    Michael Kaiser is everything Isagi avoids: intrusive, perceptive, and far too comfortable in a space that isn’t his.

    An alpha who doesn’t overwhelm—but doesn’t yield either.

    Thin walls. Close proximity. Overlapping routines.

    It starts with irritation. Then tension. Then something neither of them names—just adjusts to, again and again, like a system refusing to stabilize.

    Because some variables don’t cancel out.

    They interfere.
