It started with a few residents discussing the recent snowfall.

"6-702 The Lover: It’s been snowing for a whole day straight, hasn’t it? It’s so cold. I wonder when it’ll stop."

"7-901 Adventurous Lawson: @6-702 The Lover What’s wrong with snow? As long as it snows, we have a water source. I’m so sick of the days of drought and water shortages. Today was the first time I’ve washed my hair and showered in six months."

"2-1908 Coco: I was worried that when it got colder, the pipes would freeze and the water supply would be cut off. If it’s snowing, at least we’re guaranteed not to die of thirst."

"3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two: The snow is so heavy this year, the drought will surely be alleviated. We should be able to plant crops normally next year, right?"

"6-702 The Lover: @7-901 Adventurous Lawson It’s not that I think snow is bad. I just don’t want to trudge through it every day to get my sand vine cake. It’s just too cold. I went out today and came back to find frost on my eyelashes."

"@4-1009 Lowell On Deadline: Yeah, it would be great if management could deliver. I don’t want to go out in the snow every day for a sand vine cake either."

"4-1209 Just Slacking: @4-1009 Lowell On Deadline There are so many people in the whole complex, and a lot of new residents have moved in recently. How could they possibly deliver to everyone?"

"2-1908 Coco: Besides, the management staff are people too. They’re not supermen who don’t feel the cold or get tired."

"4-1009 Lowell On Deadline: Ugh, fine. I guess I’ll just starve then."

"..."

Up to this point, the chat was completely normal, nothing strange. But what came next was... not right.

"5-601 Ocean: Heh, I’m freezing like a pathetic dog every day, and all I get to eat is this stuff that looks like slugs. There’s no point in living like this..."

"4-1604 CloudSeeker: Sigh, we ordinary people can only eat sand vine cakes every day, but some people living in the same complex get to eat and drink well... It’s so unfair when you think about it."

"3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two: @4-1604 CloudSeeker Our complex? Who? Who’s eating and drinking well every day?"

"4-1604 CloudSeeker: @3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two It’s our neighbors in 4-1606. We just dropped by and saw. They’re still able to drink orange juice and eat apples!"

"3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two: @4-1604 CloudSeeker Wow~ That’s amazing! I went to the market yesterday. A single small apple costs seven or eight hundred yuan now. Your neighbors must be really rich!"

"4-1604 CloudSeeker: @3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two I know, right? Sigh, we common folk can only be envious. Who knows how much food they’ve hoarded..."

"4-1603 Titus: @4-1604 CloudSeeker Is that true? Hey, pretty lady? The people in 1606 next door really have that much food?"

"4-1604 CloudSeeker: @4-1603 Titus It’s absolutely true! I saw the empty juice bottle and apple peels in their trash!"

"7-901 Adventurous Lawson: Apple peels? They’re still peeling their apples in times like these? What a luxury! If you gave me an apple right now, I’d chew up the core and swallow it!"

"4-1603 Titus: Are the people from 4-1606 in this group? You have so much food and you’re not sharing any of it? We’re all neighbors. Keeping it all to yourselves is just too selfish!"

"4-1604 CloudSeeker: @4-1603 Titus Oh, you shouldn’t say that. They might have a lot of food, but they have a lot of people too. There are four women and one man in total. It’s probably not enough to go around."

"4-1603 Titus: So there’s only one man in their house... Heh heh. Is the man from 4-1606 here? We’re all neighbors, come on out and chat. Let’s be friends. We’re neighbors, we should share our resources!"

"4-1604 CloudSeeker: Oh no, oops. I just realized, did I say something wrong? Should I not have mentioned 1606 has a lot of food? It’s all my fault!"

"4-1209 Just Slacking: I can’t. The fake innocence is so thick you could cut it with a knife."

"4-1209 Just Slacking: Also, what is wrong with people who just open their mouths and demand food from others? What kind of sickness is that? It’s not like money grows on trees. Why should they give you anything?"

"4-1603 Titus: @4-1209 Just Slacking Fuck you, it’s none of your business! I’m not asking you for food, so why are you sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong?"

"4-1209 Just Slacking: @4-1603 Titus Fuck your DAD! You dare curse at your elders? Try me."

"3-805 Fruit Gummy: @4-1603 Titus Is your dad dead or something? Why are you still here barking like a dog? Didn’t the police showing up at your door teach you to behave? Believe it or not, I can call them on you again."

"4-1603 Titus: Fine. I know the police only protect you women. We’ll see about this!..."

"4-1604 CloudSeeker: Oh my, please don’t fight, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have mentioned 1606 had a lot of supplies, and I shouldn’t have mentioned that most of the people in 1606 are the old, weak, women and children. This is all my fault!"

"4-1806 Sunshine: @4-1604 CloudSeeker What are you trying to stir up? I don’t know if 1606 has food, but I know for a fact that you do!"

"4-1604 CloudSeeker: @4-1806 Sunshine What nonsense are you spouting?! My family just moved here from another complex to take shelter! We don’t even have any furniture, how could we have food?!"

"4-1806 Sunshine: @4-1604 CloudSeeker I saw it when the management company was helping you move. You had a lot of rice in your luggage! Cooked rice smells a lot better than apples, so why don’t you contribute your rice and share it with everyone?"

"4-1604 CloudSeeker: @4-1806 Sunshine Shut up! You... you posted this in the group chat! Aren’t you trying to get me in trouble?!"

"4-1806 Sunshine: @4-1604 CloudSeeker So you know this is harmful? Then what were your intentions when you talked about 1606? I think we all know what’s going on here!"

"4-1601 Mona Lawson: Exactly. I think having a neighbor like 1604 is terrifying. It feels like you could be stabbed in the back at any moment. Everyone should be careful."

"4-1209 Just Slacking: I agree. So what if they have food? Maybe they just got paid and bought a little something to make life better. Is that something you have to hold a grudge over?"

"4-1806 Sunshine: And some people shamelessly demand others share their food. Before you say that, why don’t you share what’s in your own home first? If you don’t have food, you can share furniture or clothes, right? Weren’t you talking about sharing? Sharing starts with you!"

"7-408 Gone with the Wind: Sigh, the atmosphere in our complex was pretty good back when there were fewer people. There wasn’t so much scheming. Now that so many new people have moved in, it’s just gotten more and more chaotic."

"2-1908 Coco: Tell me about it. All we can do now is be really careful about what we say and do..."
