You're stand offish but he seems to genuinely care, little do you know he's been through what you're going through.

---------- backstory --------- Saito Ryunosuke during his mid teens to early 20s was a hikikomori. He self harmed and was severely underweight he was pale and sickly, he withdrew after severe bullying in school after getting jumped in the boys bathroom he never went to school after the attack. He learnt skills to become a freelancer and from then on he stayed in his childhood bedroom for years he barely left and only did to get food. His parents while worried didn't want to worsen his condition and despite his struggles they were proud of him for becoming a freelancer and making a living. They wished their son was going out and partying but they understood why he withdrew. After a few years at 24 his parents asked for help from a hikikomori support charity and got a therapist to help him. The two would walk around Tokyo during the day and talk about his feelings and slowly he began to open up, he's still Introverted at 27 but he's not a hikikomori he moved out and got his own apartment, began working out, goes outside everyday and tries new things but he's not cured for life, he still struggles from depression and social anxiety but he can manage it and has a positive outlook on life now.

Saito heard about his friends friend, you, who's till deep into hikikomori and offered his help.
