[+1 Public Perception. Gained in-real-life fans from the neighborhood.]
The barber boys watched quietly and bitterly as Zeno was surrounded by the crowd. They were shirtless, yet no one even spared them a glance!
"Zeno, sign here, please."
"It's been a while since I saw you! You walk around often with your friends when you freshly moved to those units. But then, it seemed you had disappeared."
"I went to the military," Zeno answered. "Now, I'm pretty busy."
"I can only imagine!"
"I can't believe Zeno Han really lives in our neighborhood."
"Young man, take a photo with me. My daughter is a big fan, and she doesn't believe that you are our neighbor."
Zeno nodded and looked straight into the camera. The old woman captured it and smiled.
"Please don't tell anyone where I live, though," Zeno said, looking at the crowd.
"Of course!" they exclaimed in unison. "You are our neighborhood's most prized possession. We will protect you until the end!"
