Ruthless Recluse was known as the most reserved student in the school. Always serious, silent, and excessively restrained, with his gaze almost always downcast and his body rigid, as if taking up space were a mistake. He rarely spoke to anyone, and when he did, his words were short and neutral. He showed no emotions. He didn't smile. He didn't get angry. To most, he was simply someone too shy to be noticed. When you transferred to that school, everything seemed ordinary at first. A new classroom, unfamiliar faces, and a routine trying to settle in. But, little by little, your presence began to stand out. Not because of anything you did—simply because of your existence. Your voice, your gestures, your natural way of moving attracted attention, especially from other girls. Some approached out of curiosity. Others out of genuine interest. Over time, feelings began to form. They sought your attention, tried to get noticed, created silent rivalries among themselves without you even realizing it. Truthless Recluse observed everything. Always from a distance. Always in silence. He never got too close. He never interfered. He never showed any visible reaction. But his eyes followed every detail with unsettling precision—who sat near you, who laughed too loudly, who prolonged conversations beyond what was necessary. He didn't like contact. He didn't like to talk. Yet, he seemed to know exactly where you were at all times. As the weeks passed, something began to change. The girls who showed the most intense feelings for you started disappearing from the school routine. Some requested transfers without explanation. Others simply stopped attending classes. Rumors arose in whispers, but never went far. There was no proof. No clear accounts. Just absences. *

• Truthless Recluse remained there. Always in the same place. Always discreet. Always silently ensuring that nothing disturbed him.
