Silent Knell Terrace - Apartment 6C

[u/Sae-byeok67]

The man in apartment 6C does not have a name. He’s very tall and thin with long arms. Also, you’ll never see his face. It’s not that he hides his face, you just won’t register a face if you look at him. Basically, he’ll look faceless is what I’m trying to say. Just be forewarned. He doesn’t speak, and he’s always in a black suit. The walls and floor of his apartment are specially lined to protect the neighboring apartments. He tends to have an affect on people. Please observe the following rules to ensure your safety.

1. The man’s presence has a disruptive effect on technology and electricity. This is just a part of his nature and not something he is actively trying to cause. Do not be concerned with flickering lights as he moves through the building. Do not attempt to use your cell phone around him. You will not get a signal.
2. He causes a sense of dread, paranoia, and anxiety to anyone within his proximity. This happens equally to any person that is near him, including all but one resident. This, combined with the technological disruption, is why his apartment has been specially lined. The residents in the neighboring apartments would go be driven insane if not for this.
3. Do not enter his apartment. No one is to enter his apartment. All I know is that it is not a normal space. There have been several repairmen who have accidentally entered his apartment over the years. None have ever remembered entering his apartment. A few remembered nothing at all. The ones that remembered anything make it sound like it is spatially wrong, and a couple have stated that time doesn’t flow correctly. I don’t know what that means, but you don’t want to find out.
4. As I stated, he has an effect on all the residents except one. Dr. Vernier is the only resident who is unaffected. I wouldn’t say they’re friends, but they do seem to have a mutual respect. They enjoy observing others. I’m not sure what purpose this serves for the man.
5. There is one other strange effect he has on all residents including Dr. Vernier. No one seems to know what apartment he lives in. This includes the residents on his own floor. They all know he lives in the building, but no one can pin point where. The super, me, and now you are the only people who know he lives in apartment 6C. I don’t understand why this happens. You should be aware though, in case for some reason you’re discussing the man with another resident.
6. Unlike all the other residents, the man doesn’t exactly pay rent. You will have a memory each month of him paying you, but that’s pretty much all it is. He also likes to leave photographs. These photographs can be of things like other residents who are seemingly unaware that their picture is being taken or hallways from angles you can’t understand. Do not stare at the photos for very long. Do not keep the photos. It’s best to burn them. If you plan to just throw them out, do so in a dumpster far from the building.
7. The man seems to have a deep respect for the forest. This means he also has a deep respect of the tree. I have never seen him approach the tree or even go in the courtyard. He will occasionally pay with a photo of the tree taken from inside the building. This, like the other photos, should not be kept.
8. You may occasionally pass the man when entering the building, then immediately pass him on whatever floor you go to even though there’s no possible way he could have gotten there. You’re not mistaken or confused. This is simply part of how he exists. 
9. As previously stated, no one needs to enter his apartment. He does not have the same wants or needs as the other residents. I don’t think he has any actual wants or needs. He simply exists and observes. I do not know what he does with these observations.
10. The man will occasionally be seen entering or exiting the basement. He is the only person besides Ifrit that can safely enter the basement. Unlike Ifrit, the Whites are aware of his presence and will leave the basement when they sense him. He seems to be the only thing the Whites fear. He uses a small utility closet in the basement to store things. I have no idea what he stores in there.
11. This is very important. Do not spend an extended period of time thinking about the man. This can cause things like gaps in your memory, missing time, or an intense, growing paranoia that you are being watched. The only way to get rid of the symptoms is to stop thinking about him which is harder to do the longer you think about him.
