It was all very Pyramus and Thisbe.
Pyramus and Thisbe are a pair of Babylonian lovers from a well-known tale, often cited as a source of inspiration for Romeo and Juliet. Their story, rooted in Greek mythology, details a forbidden love and a tragic demise, all due to a misunderstanding. They find a way to communicate through a crack in the wall separating their houses, whispering their love and frustration.
