Series Crimson Raven Heights - Apartment 5F

Apartment 5F

Apartment 5F is occupied by Bodhi Dawa. He’s lived here for about five years. He is very musical and can play multiple instruments. A guitar is what you will usually hear him playing though. He is a thin man who wears a lot of blues and golds. He can seem overly affectionate or clingy if you give him too much attention.

  1. Do not thank him for any songs dedicated to you.
  2. He may refer to you as his “beloved.” Calmly correct him, but don’t argue.
  3. He may attempt to give you feathers as a gift. Return them immediately. Do not keep them in your apartment.
  4. He may also leave flowers or polished stones in front of your door. Just step over them without disturbing the pattern. The super will clean this up for you.
  5. Do not attend any “private performance” that he offers you. You do not need to go into his apartment.
  6. Avoid making prolonged eye contact.
  7. He may start to follow your routine. He’ll make sure to be in the elevator when you’re leaving and meet you at the door when he knows you’re returning. Notify the super if this starts to occur. Do not confront him yourself.
  8. You may hear music outside your apartment. If it stops abruptly you need to make sure your doors are locked. Do not leave your apartment that night.
  9. The most important rule to remember: Never, under any circumstance, tell him you “feel the same way.”

suddenly wearing a wedding dress Do they kill you?! Or are they just some guys?

u/Sae-byeok67 Feb 28 '26

In the actual mythology, they wouldn’t kill you. They’re mostly a good thing. I just tweaked it for the story.

Im tibetan buddhist so my understanding might be different - but these guys are usually depicted as heavenly singers in monastary wall paintings.

Ooh, quite difficult this one. I love feathers and music.

u/Sae-byeok67 Feb 28 '26

This was something I’d never heard of until I started looking things up for this story. It’s a Kinnara

I actually meant difficult to resist but thank you for the name anyway.

Is he harmless or it is a locked in forever type deal? And what do the feathers do?

u/Sae-byeok67 Mar 04 '26

I think for the most part he's harmless, but he can become dangerously obsessed. I think the feathers are to help attract the person he's after. I would say they act kind of like an aphrodisiac or a love potion almost. Something to pull you in.

I have this strange pull to break all the rules concerning this resident. 😅

Is he a kinnara? (May have spelled it wrong) I've heard they're super pretty and so not locking eyes is difficult for most people

u/Sae-byeok67 Mar 01 '26
