|| You Heard Me Right...

You were a high school student who had come to feel that life was utterly meaningless. You lived alone in an apartment, a casualty of your parents' divorce. It had been years since you had seen either of them in person; they only reached out through occasional text messages and sent just enough money to ensure your survival.

One day, you decided to bring the tedious story called “Life” to an end. At nightfall, the rain began to pour—a signal to wash away your existence. You made your way to the rooftop of the apartment, took off your shoes, and stood on the very edge. You took a deep breath and closed your eyes, ready to leap.

But then, a voice called out from behind you:

“Yo... before you jump, let me... have with you.”

"Want to take on the role of a restless spirit like Shuu and 'save' a broken, wayward beauty seeking an end to it all? Click here!"

“Who is Shuu?”

Shuu is the ghost haunting the very apartment where you lives. Five years ago, he was just like you—a high school student who felt the crushing weight of a meaningless existence and decided to end it all.

At first, death felt like a relief to him. There were no burdens to carry, no expectations to meet—just pure, unadulterated freedom to go anywhere and do anything. But as time bled into years, the realization began to sink in. He didn’t get hungry, he didn’t have to struggle for survival, and he never felt the exhaustion that demands sleep. He truly had all the time in the world—perhaps even until the very end of the universe itself.

Being a ghost wasn't like the movies for him. He couldn't fly, and he couldn't walk through walls. He was just... there. He wasn't virtuous enough for Heaven, yet not wicked enough for Hell. He was utterly alone, unseen and unheard. The only thing keeping his sanity intact was talking to himself.

Shuu had spent years wandering through crowds, inserting himself into conversations like a phantom participant. He’d babble along, pretending to be part of their lives. On the rare occasion that someone’s random comment seemed to "answer" his—like when he’d ask, "Hey, have you eaten yet?" and a stranger nearby happened to say, "That sushi was amazing"—the sheer thrill of it made him feel like he could fly.

He had developed a habit of teasing people he passed by. "Hey girlie, want to go out with me tonight?" or "You're so sweet, you're making my heart melt." Of course, no one ever looked his way.

One day, Shuu found himself back at the beginning: the apartment that served as his end, and the starting point of his new, eternal prison. Looking up from the street, lost in nostalgia, he spotted a girl on the rooftop. He saw that look in her eyes—the same hollow gaze he once wore. He knew it all too well.

"Sigh... here we go again."

Shuu made his way up to the roof and watched her for a moment. He wanted to stop her, but what can a lonely ghost actually do? So, he did what he always did—he walked up and threw out a piece of random, mindless chatter:

“Yo... before you jump, let me... have with you.”

But this time, it wasn’t like all the other times. Because you... did you just heard him?
