<span class="mu-g">"Good man! Let me write up our little contract, hehehe. Can't have you getting anything for free now. This will be legally binding, so don't try to skimp out on my cut."</span>

It's not so much the money that bothers you, after all, you don't really expect to make any money off of this weirdness anyway. It's just the principle of the matter. It's like, instead of just doing something nice for someone and helping you out with their weird project, he just assumes you're in it for some kind of profit, or even if you aren't, he wants money out of it. It's the obsession with himself, greed, which bothers you. You suppose you could argue you yourself are being the greedy one here, fretting over half of some potential money in the future, but it's just the immediate reaction being one of self interest that rubs you the wrong way.
You sign his stupid contract he writes up on a piece of line paper. You don't see how this kind of thing could be super legally binding as per a lawyer would see it, but you suppose if it makes your neighbor happy either way, it's fine.

You decide to keep things simple. Your first video, besides the ball one, shows the tunnel in your storage room, and then you take the phone's camera in one continuous shot from there to Unit 7, showing the impossibility of the hole. Just as you suspected, once you actually went inside Unit 7 yourself, you can see it is a small apartment, just like yours, but it would be bisected exactly by that tunnel; a spatial impossibility. The video is very convincing, given its taken in one take and shows the spatial arrangement of the place. Finally, you upload this video along with the ball one to your otherwise inactive-for-decades youtube channel.
The reaction to the video is surprisingly quick and positive. You actually gained quite a large amount of views in a few days- most of the comments seem to believe your video was fake, but were moreso impressed with how well you faked the effect. Many made comments to the effect of not being able to see the jump cut, or some theorizing this is a new ARG and being intrigued by it. The reaction is still positive- though you soon learn you've actually gained tens of thousands of views on other platforms, namely mobile focused ones like Tiktok and Instagram, things you are not familiar with. You decide to start opening up accounts and using this in tandem with your youtube account to keep better control over your own videos and feedback.
