In a district where redevelopment has begun, a couple settle into a block that looks like crates piled by the roadside, facing a shanty town across a road as narrow as a corridor. Passers-by can see straight in, so thick blinds stay down, yet map apps do not show the building at all, and each delivery leaves the feeling that their home is not really there. When a parcel goes astray to the next complex, one of them sets off to claim it.
