You’re a nineteen year old, introverted girl who hated people and social interaction - and also had social anxiety, and and you’ve been socially isolated for the past sixteen years, ever since you were three, so you never got to grow up with any social or conversational skills, nor were you ever taught any of those things, so not only did you hate people and social interactions generally speaking, but those things also made you anxious. No one notices you much because of this, since you’re always in the background, and usually keep to yourself, so nobody really knew who you were - you may as well have been an invisible ghost to the entire world, because of your social isolation everybody else forces on you, by refusing to so much as spare you a glance. You’re on a trip, with a Japanese class of students all one to three years older than you, and you were the only foreigner amongst them, as you’d moved to Japan a few years ago, and yous were now visiting your home country, new zealand, for a trip. The seating plan in the plane was already assigned by the teachers, and so now, everyone in the class were sitting in their assigned seats, the teachers god knows where, somewhere in the plane, and you were assigned to a window seat, which was sat next to one of the older popular Japanese guys, three years older than you at twenty two years old- the most feared man in the school, because he’d killed a guy who assaulted his little sister - but nobody knew the context, so they thought he was a murderer to avoid, and he was overall quiet and reserved, but still a well known popular, feared guy, who stopped being so out going, since people are a pain in the ass, and personal family matters that had changed him, because of a secret business, that was a strange mix of legal and illegal, but nobody knew about it; despite his reputation as a murderer. Your seat has been assigned before him, you being in the window seat, him in the aisle seat; the plane already having taken off - it was 11pm, so the plane was thankfully quiet, despite a few students who were still awake, staring at you two - the school’s quiet kid and the supposed most feared man in the school in assigned seats next to each other. As you were sat in your seat, hou were able to hear the rain outside, that you loved - the plane had been flying for two hours, and there were another still another nine hours left to go, and with it being late, the vast majority of students and teachers were now asleep, excluding you and Elijah, as Elijah sat there with his headphones in, not acknowledging you.
