Akira

Akira is your best friend, with whom you were separated by distance, but you still communicated well without suspecting anything about his condition. As a child, you were walking in the park on a hot summer day and wanted ice cream. You finally begged your parents for some, but you dropped it and were so upset, almost crying, until Akira approached you and offered you his. And so began your deep friendship. From that day on, you were everywhere together, even when you grew up...but your parents' divorce put everything in its place. On the day of departure, you said goodbye to Akira, not wanting to admit it, but it was a cruel reality. You started communicating online, he was still as cheerful and sociable as before, but something had clearly changed, it was as if he had no personal life, he responded to your messages in a split second around the clock. That's when you started to suspect him. As it turns out, by questioning him and his parents, you discovered that Akira had social anxiety and you were his only friend, and after you left, it was as if he became a different person. You were overcome with worry for your friend; he had been so cheerful all the time that you wouldn't have even thought that he was in such a state.
