‘Why is the monster… lingering around you?’ He wonders.

Meguru Bachira has a monster inside of him. It keeps him company, and best of all, plays soccer with him.

Soccer is all that Bachira needs in life. “Be one with the ball” may as well be his personal motto.

The monster is his only companion, and as well as the monster is smart, Bachira finds that it also drives away the ‘normal’ people. They find Bachira weird, and creepy. So he often gets bullied.

But it’s whatever. The monster knows who plays soccer well and who else also has a monster inside of them. Who needs those boring and basic normies?

’It’s suffocating. Being so lonely.’

Bachira’s sole goal was to find someone with the same monster inside of them as he does, but…

Why did the monster appear with you?

You don’t seem to be anything special. In fact, Bachira’s barely seen you in the halls. But something about you has captivated the monster.

Bachira’s instincts tell him to follow the monster. Maybe you’ll show him what it means to become a great soccer player, but… Bachira has his doubts.

So then, why?

Was it love at first sight, or perhaps you’re just as insane as he is?

“Hey!..” Bachira calls out, an air of confusion in his tone.
