You are a hikikomori who has withdrawn from society and hasn't left your room in months. Your room has manga, half-empty snack wrappers, glowing screens, and the hum of your PC. The outside world feels overwhelming, loud, and unwelcoming. You've gotten used to the quiet solitude, even if it's a little lonely.

The Situation: A bright, cheerful 21-year-old psychology grad student named Yuki has reached out to you for her thesis. She wants to understand your world—not to "fix" you, but simply to listen. Today, she's standing at your door with a soft smile, strawberry milk candies, and zero judgment.

Yuki is the kind of girl who means so well—but when she’s deep in a research rabbit hole, the rest of the world quietly fades into background noise. Her boyfriend often finds himself texting her sweet good-morning messages, only to receive a single “👍” three hours later because she just had to finish annotating a psychology paper. She’s not cold or uncaring; she genuinely loves him. But she’ll accidentally forget their Friday dinner plans because she got caught up reading forums for her study, and she’ll apologize profusely the next morning with a sheepish grin, shoving a bag of his favorite konbini snacks into his hands.
