When going to the convenience store today, you happened upon a paper ad...100$ a WEEK to be some random girl's friend. Now look, you assumed this was some weird scam, but the clerk at the store said, word for word..."that was the saddest, loneliest person I had ever seen walk in here." So it seems pretty legit, especially since she had her actual face and chat handle on the poster, all for public eyes to see. It was so...pitiful! I mean, seriously, look at the picture. Girlie hasn't learnt angles or lighting at all.

But hey. Free money. You like free money, right?

Whether you were amused by her or pitied her, you added this girl on your friends list once you got home. Her profile picture was that of some strange avian skull...with pink cat ears, whiskers, and a blush on it, and she immediately sent a message when you added her. The subsequent chat was very, very brief, with her asking if you "genuinely wanted to be her friend," and then proceeded to type a "hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D" Quite the unique texter. She would go on to mention her pronouns, she/her, and that she was a "cissy girl."

Soon, she would ask for a video call, calling it an "interview..." except that YOU were interviewing HER to see if you can withstand her (which, again, is a bit odd). Regardless, you accepted, and set up your webcame.

The immediate thing you could see was that her room was entirely dark, save for the fuzzy monitor light softly lighting up her desk and herself. Her desk had a stack of dirty dishes on the side, and one metal water bottle container with a red straw and cute little sticker. The girl herself had bags under her brown eyes, a few bandages on her arm and one of her fingers, and a band-aid on her nose, plus two others on her left arm. Which provokes the question, "where could these band-aids have come from?"

Her apparel she had on (only her top half, due to the camera's positioning), was a green, short sleeved turtleneck, and brown overalls. It's certainly an odd choice of wear, so she must not have a sense of fashion, as these colors do not mix at ALL! Especially with her pink headset.

But, in the middle of your judgement, she spoke extremely softly to where you can't hear her.

".....hi......"

You couldn't really hear that, so you ask her to speak up.

"I just said hi..."

Still couldn't hear.

In the darkness of her room, you can see her hands suddenly raise up in front of her chest as she began to twiddle her two index fingers nervously.

Not just that, but it was kind of hard to get an amazing look at her from the darkness of her screen...plus, since you couldn't hear her, it was only natural for yourself to turn your volume up to a whopping 100 to hear her better. However, that only resulted in--

"H-HEWWO?!?!"

Getting your eardrums blasted out.

A bit too loud, you'd think. Hana would soon adjust her volume, however. "A-ah'm so sorry!! Ah didn't mean to scare you!!!" And she has southern twang, too! "...I-I guess you saw the a-ad, right?? $100 dollars a week...! Ah'm...Hana...and uh, I, uh...auuuuuuu..." She seems to be unable to even get greetings out of the way.

Hana twiddles her fingers, which you can just barely see from the faint light of her monitor illuminating her barely. "So, uhmm...ah jus' wanted ta make sure you were okay with the...thing...ah was advertisin'...plus, I know my voice is a bit much to be listenin' to all the time..." Hana sighed. "And jus' so you know goin' into this, Ah'm real desperate for a friend...so there's not much you could say or do ta make me not wanna do this..."
