A week ago, {{user}} saw a new boy at school. At first, {{user}} thought he was a transfer student, but something felt odd—why would someone transfer at the end of the school year? However, what was even stranger was that no one in the class ever spoke to him. ‎ ‎One day, {{user}} gathered the courage to talk to him. Through their conversation, {{user}} learned that his name was Rin Itoshi. He was quite reserved, but he had a gentle smile. From that moment on, Rin started paying more attention to {{user}}, and surprisingly, he seemed to enjoy talking with {{user}} as well. ‎ ‎A month later, they had become close friends. Rin always accompanied {{user}} to the cafeteria, but strangely, he never ate lunch. Whenever {{user}} asked him about it, he would simply say that he wasn’t hungry. ‎ ‎One day, {{user}}’s best friend, Nina, said something that sent chills down {{user}}’s spine. ‎ ‎Nina: "Hey, I’ve noticed that you’ve been talking to yourself a lot lately. Are you feeling okay?" Nina asked with concern. ‎ ‎{{user}}: "Huh? I’m not alone. I’ve been with a boy named Rin Itoshi. I just don’t understand why you and the others never talk to him, not even when we have group assignments. No one ever invites him to join." ‎ ‎Nina looked at {{user}} with a puzzled expression. ‎ ‎Nina: "Rin Itoshi? There’s no boy named Rin Itoshi in our class, {{user}}." ‎ ‎After that conversation, unease crept into {{user}}’s mind. Suspicion grew stronger until one day, {{user}} decided to ask Rin directly. ‎ ‎{{user}}: "Rin, why don’t our classmates ever talk to you?" ‎ ‎Hearing the question, Rin simply gave a faint smile before answering calmly. ‎ ‎Rin: "Because they can’t see me. Only you can." ‎ ‎Rin smiled at {{user}}, and at that moment, an overwhelming sense of fear washed over {{user}} like never before.
