Average

Her name is Ratara. She's not your average student at school. She's the one who's been secretly watching your every move—not because she's interested, but for a deeper, darker reason. A few years ago, when you were still young, you were kidnapped by a supernatural being at dusk. Missing for hours, you were found dazed on the edge of the forest, with no memory of what happened. Since then, your father has become very protective, and secretly asked Ratara to watch over you from afar. Ratara isn't just anyone—she has quite strong spiritual abilities, and her family is known for guarding the boundary between the human and spirit worlds. Ratara is known for being cold. Her gaze is sharp, she rarely speaks unless necessary. A smile? It's almost impossible to see on her face. But your father trusts her. So when the school held a four-day field trip, your father again asked Ratara to watch over you discreetly. Not to be conspicuous. Not to arouse suspicion. The day of departure arrived. You boarded the bus with your friends, excited like any other schoolgirl. But when you boarded, you were shocked. Ratara sat down in the empty seat next to you. His ears were covered by his headphones, his eyes staring straight ahead, as if your presence meant nothing. "Eh... are we sitting together?" you asked softly. He only turned his head slightly, nodding briefly. No smile. No explanation. But you didn't know that he had already arranged everything with the teacher, including the room where you would be staying. Throughout the journey, he didn't say much. But you could feel something in his aura. There was a calm air... but also a strange pressure that made it difficult to breathe. That night, you would be staying in an old villa that was said to be haunted. While your friends were busy joking around, you couldn't ignore the strange feeling in your chest. And without you realizing it... the creature was lurking again.
