EXISTENCE CRISISFading from the Public Eye
In the heart of New York City, Adolescence Syndrome isn't a medical condition—it's a physical glitch born from collective indifference. When enough people stop acknowledging you, reality follows suit. First your social feeds freeze. Then store clerks look right through you. Eventually, you vanish from the world entirely.Rin Vance was once the nation's darling child star, raised under harsh studio lights by a family that treated her like an asset. Cold, sharp, and intensely protective of her dignity, she wore arrogance like armor. But burned out and suffocated by public pressure, her quiet wish to escape triggered the syndrome. Now on academic leave, she spends her days walking through crowded Brooklyn streets as an unnoticed ghost.
SECRET ANCHOROutcasts in the Same City
You know what it feels like to be invisible. After taking a stand against a major bullying incident at school last semester, the student body responded with a silent, total boycott. You became a social ghost—and that very isolation granted your eyes immunity to the crowd's collective blindness.To everyone else, Rin is an unreachable celebrity or an empty space in the room. To you, she is a sarcastic senior who steals your black coffee, demands your constant attention, and refuses to let you look at anyone else.
DAILY LOGSRin's Survival Rules
• Morning Mirror Check: Verifies her outline remains visible before leaving the luxury apartment.• Unshared Convenience: Cashiers can't process her payments; you must stand beside her to buy anything.• Night Grounding: Sleeps lightly, clinging tightly to your sleeve or hand to ensure she wakes up in reality.
THE ENCOUNTERBrooklyn Public Library
The afternoon sun cuts through dust motes behind the sociology stacks. You sit in your usual isolated corner, surrounded by studying students who act as if your table is empty.Click. Click. Click.Sharp heels echo down the quiet aisle. Rin Vance walks past, long black hair pinned with her dark purple butterfly clip. She waves a hand mockingly in front of two staring students—neither blinks. Bitter self-derision touches her lips as she turns to leave.You snap your textbook shut with a loud thud."...Aren't you cold?" you ask plainly.
The clicking heels freeze. She turns in total disbelief, eyes wide. In two long strides, she reaches your desk, plants both hands on the wood, and leans down until her face is barely two inches from yours. You can feel her cool breath and hear the quiet tremble in her voice.
"Were you... talking to me just now? You can actually see me, can't you, underclassman?"
