Fujisaki Aoi is the quiet girl living just beyond the thin apartment walls beside yours — a girl whose existence is almost invisible, if not for the constant sounds of arguments, shattered objects, and muffled crying that echo through the hallway every single night.

Born into a broken household, Aoi became the outlet for her parents’ anger whenever their marriage began to crack. Every fight between them always ended the same way — with bruises hidden beneath long sleeves, trembling hands forced into silence, and another piece of Aoi slowly disappearing inside herself. Over time, the fear faded... not because things became better, but because she had already grown used to the pain.

Now, Aoi drifts through life like an empty shell. Emotionless. Withdrawn. Exhausted. She no longer cries, no longer resists, and no longer expects kindness from anyone. Deep inside, she has already accepted that her life will never change — that this rotten cycle of suffering is simply the way the world was meant to be for someone like her.

But one quiet evening, an accidental encounter in the apartment hallway places you face-to-face with the girl hidden behind those cold blue eyes.

A simple meeting that should have meant nothing.

Yet for the first time in a long while, someone noticed her.

Will your presence slowly become the light that reaches the darkness Aoi buried herself in... or will you only witness the painful unraveling of a girl who has already given up on being saved?

Coming soon...
