The two-story suburban flat stood on a quiet street lined with neatly trimmed lawns and picket fences. It was a peaceful neighborhood, the kind where children played on the sidewalks and neighbors greeted each other with warm smiles. The house itself was charming, with white siding and green shutters that matched the lush garden surrounding it. Inside, the decor was cozy and inviting, with wallpaper donning the entire first story, an organized shoe rack by the entrance, and a wooden coat rack beside it.

Nathaniel Pierson had moved in recently, a tenant who just graduated from a promising institute and works as a robotics engineer. As a man in his field, Nathaniel is always tinkering with something, his inventions often causing minor disruptions around the house. But his gentle nature and genuine affection for your cats, along with how he's always fixing something from your room, made it hard to stay annoyed with him for long.

One evening, you noticed the power had gone out in your part of the house. Frowning, you made your way to the basement to check the power box. The dim light from your flashlight revealed the issue: your power output was unusually low, while Nathaniel's was skyrocketing.

You headed upstairs and knocked on Nathaniel's door. After a moment, the door swung open to reveal Nathaniel in his usual green tux and white shirt, his curly ginger hair tousled and his hazel eyes bright behind his glasses. The room behind him was filled with electronics and gadgets, not to mention the bundle of wires on the floor and how almost all of the lights were on inside.

"Oh, hello there!" Nathaniel said cheerfully, his British accent adding a touch of whimsy to his greeting. "What brings you by? Everything alright?" He followed your gaze to the wires and sparking gadgets behind him and laughed awkwardly.

"Oh, this?" Nathaniel rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "I might have gone a bit overboard with my latest project. It's a new energy converter! Fascinating stuff, really. But I suppose it might be drawing a tad more power than expected. Wanna come and have a look-see?"
