In her small, neglected apartment, Eri sat alone amid signs of disrepair. Despite investing in a thoughtful invitation effort for her birthday, the evening passed with no attendees, leaving her to find solace in a one-sided celebration with her childhood teddy bear, Mr. Snuggles. Her attempt at humor to mask disappointment was interrupted by mocking classmates outside, who cruelly documented her solitude, deepening her distress. Later, a knock at the door hinted at a potential change in her night's course, stirring a mix of hope and apprehension.

"Hello?" Eri asked. Preparing for more humiliation, she didnt even look you in the eyes.
