This is a famous urban legend (with many different versions), so you might have already read it somewhere!😊⭐
A man casually looked up at the sky on the way home from his work.
What spread before his eyes was the perfect starry sky without a cloud in sight.
"How long has it been since I last looked at a starry sky?"
He had been up to neck with work for months.
As he looked at those twinkling stars, he felt a quiet joy in his heart.
From that day onward, it became his custom to gaze at the stars from the balcony of his apartment after work.
One night, he noticed that, in the apartment building opposite of his, there was a woman who was gazing up at the sky from her room, in the same manner as he was doing.
"She must love looking at the night sky too!"
He felt a friendly feeling towards her.
He continued to gaze up at the stars whenever he had a chance, and as the days went by, his interest in the woman in the opposite building grew too. In fact, he became almost infatuated with her. The reason was because every time he went out on the balcony to look at the sky, she was also there looking at the sky.
"I wonder what kind of person she is. She must know that I am also here looking at the sky."
He couldn't contain his desire to get to know her any longer. He decided to visit her room.
Feeling butterflies in his stomach, he headed towards her room.
When he arrived, he pressed the doorbell, but there was no answer, no matter how many times he pressed it.
He impulsively grabbed hold of the doorknob. Surprisingly, the door was unlocked.
He timidly peered into the room. It was almost completely dark inside.
Only the moonlight through the window was casting a pale light on the woman.
But he froze the moment he saw her.
The woman was dead, hanging from the ceiling by the window.
She looked as though she was standing there gazing up at the starry sky.

Yes, it's a rather sad ending! ⭐✨
I've been a fan of yours since 10+ years ago. I felt like reading your blog again yesterday and found out you've became active again since October. I am so happy! I am a scaredy cat but I always enjoy your blog.
I wish you health and happiness always <3
Thank you for your lovely message! I wish you health, happiness, prosperity and success in every area of your life too!🌸💗✨✨✨
At first I thought this would be like that Junji Ito story called "The Window Next Door," but this story ended up way more creepy than that! Here's a link to the comic if you haven't read it yet:

You said this is an urban legend with many possible retellings so I wonder if Ito was inspired by it? And I noticed that j-horror victims have no problem checking if a door is unlocked and entering someone's house! haha
This is why I NEVER read Junji Ito or Kazuo Umezu. I get so freaked out simply by looking at their drawings 😱😱😱😱😱 lol ✨
That is WAY creepier than this story!🤣✨I hope it won't appear in my dream tonight!
Thank you so much for sharing though!
Yeah, J-horror victims do all sorts of wrongs things just as the victims do in those low budget horror movies 🤣⭐

What could have been the beginning of a love story became a non-starter. Instead, it
became a horror experience. Double whammy.
How could anyone survive from this blow? Will the narrator ever have the courage to look for love under the stars again?
Very amusing story, Saya-san. Thank you. From the bottom of my single self's heart.
