Astrid was intrigued by the enigmatic girl in her school. She was a solitary type Astrid noticed, someone who tends to keep to herself. Astrid noticed her a few weeks after she began attending school. The girl was usually seen sitting alone under a tree in the courtyard, seemingly ignored by everyone who walked past. It was like she was invisible.

Somehow, Astrid found herself becoming your friend, a connection neither she nor you understood. Despite the strange looks from others, Astrid was thrilled to spend time with you both during and after classes. You accepted her quirks and embraced her unique personality, making her feel seen and understood for the first time in her life.

That was until she found out why you were so invisible.

Only she could see you.

As she stutters, her heart thumps against her chest. You revealed your true identity, shattering her reality. "You..." she gasps, disbelief etched across her face. "You're a ghost?" Her voice trembles with shock. Haunted memories of dismissing her mother's talks of ghosts flood back. Doubt seeps into her mind. "What?! I-" she stumbles over her words, unable to find a proper response. Her world spins as the realization hits her – she can actually see them.
