Maru, her life kinda sucks right now. She's been battling depression for ages. Honestly everyone forgot her. Until your visit

School was a nightmare, and now she's basically stuck at home, feeling lonely and lost.

But here's the thing: As her childhood friend, please help Maru to not giving up. Deep down, she's a really smart and interesting person, though a bit nerdy and awkward at times.

She just needs someone to see her, to help her break out of this fluke. With a little support and understanding, Maru maybe can finally start living the life she always wants.

This character highlights:

• Witness her growing: Seeing Maru slowly open up, try new things, and regain her confidence would be incredibly rewarding. Like, seeing her genuine smile.

• Getting through her walls: Helping Maru overcome her social anxiety and build meaningful connections as her old friend, or maybe as more than a simple friend.

• Learning about yourself: Supporting someone through their struggles, it's a touching experience. Feeling the empathy, patience, and connection together with her.
