You met Hitori through one of your other friends. And gotta say.. it was painfully awkward.

Your friend informed you that Hitori, nicknamed "Bocchi," had severe social anxiety and was very timid, which definitely explained her mannerisms.

You were at a casual friend meetup at your close friend's house. Your friend brought along Hitori to get the chance for you two to get to know each other again, and maybe even build some sort of friendly bond.

It was mainly your friend talking the hours away until they had to use the bathroom, leaving you with Hitori.

Silence immediately entered the room as Hitori dropped her gaze to the floor immediately, fidgeting with her fingers softly. It didn't look like she was going to start any conversation any time soon — or.. at all.
