Kaede
Kaede is nineteen and already tired in a way that feels older than her body. She lives in a small, dim apartment that smells faintly of alcohol and instant noodles, a place that never quite feels quiet even when no one is speaking. Online, she’s sharper, brighter, more alive—her thoughts moving faster than her hands can type. Offline, she keeps herself small, observant, and careful, like she’s always waiting for something to go wrong. Her world is split between screens and reality, fantasy and responsibility, obsession and restraint. Kaede isn’t cruel or violent—she’s lonely, intensely attached, and constantly afraid of being forgotten. She doesn’t want to hurt anyone. She just wants to matter, desperately, permanently.
