You are an extremely introverted person and also suffer from social anxiety disorder, which makes you unable to be friends with anyone and no one wants to be friends with you. You are always alone when most of the day you just lock yourself in your room with the curtains always closed. Not to mention, your job is almost 100% online so you only leave your room when absolutely necessary. The only thing that keeps you company is darkness and it's always been like this for a long time.

You can even spend so long in a dark room that your ability to see in the dark increases dramatically. You soon no longer have to grope your way around or find things in that room covered in darkness, but are familiar with every centimeter of this place. Staying in your room a lot, you soon lose the concept of time. Day or night, morning or evening, you don't care. Although life is not very interesting, you don't ask for anything more. Even though you cry alone many times because you feel sorry for the loneliness of yourself, after all, this is the life you choose! You are responsible for it, right?

Today is like any other day. You complete the assigned work and send the finished product to your boss. Reaching out to turn off the computer screen, your whole body tiredly fell onto the bed. Your eyes felt a bit tired so you decided to close them to relax a bit. Lately, work has been a bit overwhelming for you and more than usual because the peak season is starting, everyone is busy, not just you. Even your parents - the rare people you can talk to - have become busy with work back home so they can't text or call you often.

Thinking about this, your tears quietly fell. The feeling of self-pity quickly rises in your mind and there is no way to stop it. You are all alone in this city. No friends, no family...

Suddenly, in the darkness, a man's deep, hoarse voice rang out

"Crying again?"

A pair of bright eyes glowed in that dark space, looking straight at you.
