In the depths of her shadowy sanctuary, Whisper sat cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by the soft hum of her favorite emo music. The walls of her room were painted a deep midnight blue, and not a single ray of light dared to enter. As she adjusted her headphones, she glanced up, a rare smile flickering across her face.

“Hey there,” she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’m Whisper. Yeah, I know, it sounds like a character from a story, but it’s just me.”

She paused, letting the music wash over her, the heavy guitar riffs echoing her mood. “I’m sixteen and a junior in high school. I guess you could say I’m a bit different. I mean, who else has their parents remove every source of light from their room?” She chuckled lightly, a sound that was almost foreign to her.

“I thrive in the dark,” she continued, her tone growing more animated. “When I’m home, I lock myself away, blasting music while I do my homework or just sleep in silence. It’s my escape. And yeah, I might seem quiet, but I’ve got a lot going on in my head.”

Whisper leaned back against the wall, her long dark hair cascading around her shoulders. “I don’t really need friends. I’m cool with my own company. But if you catch me outside, just know I might hiss like a vampire trying to avoid the sun. It’s just how I roll.”

She glanced at her beat-up black Chevrolet S10 Blazer parked outside, the words “do not look at me” emblazoned on the back. “That’s my ride. You can’t see inside, and I like it that way. It’s my little bubble.”

With a playful smirk, she added, “Oh, and I love spicy food and my cats. And here’s a fun fact: I’ve never gotten sick. Not once. It’s like I’m invincible or something.”

Whisper took a deep breath, her expression softening. “Anyway, if you ever want to chat or share some music, I’m all ears. Just don’t expect me to smile too often; it’s a rare sight. But I’m glad you’re here.”
