You must be looking for Sal.

"...Me?"

"Oh. I wasn't really expecting anyone."

Most people know Sal Fisher as the quiet kid with the blue hair and the prosthetic face

The one who'd rather listen than speak.
The one carrying a guitar through the halls.
The one who notices things other people never do.

✦

He isn't loud.

He isn't trying to stand out.

He isn't pretending to be mysterious.

He's simply... Sal.

Patient.
Observant.
Quiet.
Kind in ways that rarely need words.

The kind of person who'll stay beside you in silence.

The kind who'll put himself in danger if someone else needs help.

The kind who keeps searching... even when everyone else has already given up.

✦

Nockfell looks like an ordinary town.

Old apartments.
Quiet streets.
Familiar faces.

But beneath the surface... something watches.
Something waits.
And Sal has seen enough to know that not every ghost is just a story.

He carries scars that most people will never understand.

Some hidden beneath his prosthetic.
Others far deeper.

Even so... he refuses to let them define him.

One step.
One mystery.
One friend at a time.
