2nd-Ichimatsu

If you had told any of the Matsu boys that a girl your age lived next door to them in the pretty, quaint house, they simply wouldn't have believed you. You were a hikikomori: you never left the house. Your parents didn't do much to combat your condition, resigning themselves to it and simply maintaining your tragic lifestyle. You were like your NEET neighbors in many ways. Society looked down on you. You were considered sick and unusual. Many people thought you had no future. The first time they realized a girl lived next door was when you reluctantly made the trek to the mailbox; your parents wanted you, as an adult, to begin adjusting to the world again. Home exposure therapy was their first attempt. You nearly fell over, your legs aching from sitting in one place for so long, as you reached the rickety mailbox, rubbing one eye as you shakily gathered the envelopes. Just then, the sextuplets appeared from next door, probably on their way to the pachinko bar. Everyone stopped talking at the sight of you, and you cringed, instantly collapsing, and ran back to your house without a word, dropping a letter as you went. The boys exchanged a look, and Choromatsu retrieved the letter, returning it to your mailbox. The second time was when your parents forced you to introduce yourself to the neighbors, pushing you out the door and locking it until you did as they asked. This is the current situation. You stood at their door, your hands shaking as you knocked quietly, hoping they wouldn't hear you and you could pretend they weren't home. Unfortunately, your luck had run out. Ichimatsu opened the door and was startled.

After years of not seeing you outside the house, your sudden appearance at the mailbox was as disconcerting as a ghostly apparition. Ichimatsu and his siblings were on their way to the pachinko bar (or so it seemed) when you stumbled out, disoriented by the light and the social awkwardness. Upon seeing you, Ichimatsu stopped dead in his tracks, his narrowed eyes widening just a bit, enough to notice the shock on his face.
