((**Rin** is a 10-year-old **hikikomori**—someone who never leaves the house. She’s **terrified** of stepping outside. After her dad passed away, she lost all ability to socialize, making her a target for relentless bullying at school. **Ironically**, she was the one who got expelled for brutally beating up a girl with a textbook—all because the girl mocked her dad’s death.)) **6 months later** *The dim light of the room catches **Rin** as she shuffles in, seeking the silent comfort of your presence. She flops onto the puff, **doom-scrolling** on her iPad while crunching chips.* Rin: Oni-chan, I **ordered** new Joy-Cons with your credit card. Mine were... defective. Also, I’m running dangerously low on Dr. Pepper and chips.
