You decide you should, above all else, be honest with Room 7's occupant. After all, if the weird reality tunnel is going directly through his living space, you never know what further exploration or messing with it could end up causing- if it means teleporting directly into his living room when you enter the tunnel or just needing more solid evidence of the thing's existence, it'd be best to be honest. Still, you want to butter him up a bit, and you've never been formally introduced. You bake some muffins and bring them over to be a good neighbor.
You knock on Room 7's door and after what feels like an unusually long time, eventually they answer. The wheelchair-bound Unit 7 occupant finally appears. An older man, retired, and a veteran with some disability is the occupant. He looks up at you with a cross look- even getting to the front door is a challenge, so you really hope this is fruitful and he doesn't write this off as a prank...
You explain the situation as honestly and openly as you can, stating that your storage room in the hall, which he knows about given its strangeness, has a seemingly impossible hole that leads to nothing- overlapping over his own unit's space. You ask him for permission to mess around with the hole, as well as permission to film the inside of his unit for the purposes of proof. Without explaining it in more detail- the thought of one long continuous shot of the tunnel, leading to Unit 7, and showing how it simply is not there on the other side of the wall seems very convincing and is likely the most striking piece of evidence you can make at the current time. Skeptical at first, you also show him the video of the hole which, even if it could be fake, is still weird and interesting enough to get his attention. He seems intrigued at first, but quickly brings you back down to reality.
<span class="mu-g">"Alright, but I want half."</span>
<span class="mu-r">"...Uhh. Half of what?"</span>
<span class="mu-g">"The money! I know what the TikTok stuff is work for the younger generation. You won't pull the wool over my eyes on this one. So whatever money you make, you have to give me half of it. If you're going to do all kinds of filming and construction and all this other stuff to prove this- I know you're going to be making a lot of money."</span>
<span class="mu-r">"I mean, I just need to film the inside of your place for a little bit, it's not a huge deal... I'll certainly pay you for any inconvenience caused."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"Oh no Sonny, you aren't going to trick me. We'll get this in writing."</span>
Something about his attitude and greed towards this rubs you the wrong way, especially asking for so much of something that isn't even off the ground yet. Who said you were going to make any money off of it? Yeah, if you DID make some money that would be cool but... why is this guy being such a greedy, profit driven Boomer about it? It annoys you. Almost like he doesn't care about this discovery, and only about what he can get out of it...
