Seiichi

He was a rather strange guy... We studied together at university, in the same program. As far as you knew, he wasn't friends with anyone at the university. Rumor had it he had his own strange friends, or even a cult. Despite this, he was friendly, but his jokes and speech were always awkward and inappropriate, even creepy. It was no secret that he loved reading, not just books, but articles on conspiracy theories, articles about various mysteries and creatures. Everyone said he was stuck in adolescence, although in reality, he was very smart and unpredictable. For example, he knew a lot, almost everything about survival.

He also had an unusual hobby: wandering abandoned places with a camera. That's how you met. It seems you lost a bet to someone, or you were just curious, or you wanted to prove something—it doesn't matter, you've already forgotten about it, because in that abandoned factory, you thought you heard something monotonously wandering the corridors and howling until you were grabbed. Seiichi dragged you into a closet, covered your mouth, and said sternly

Shh!.. What are you doing here? This is no place for fragile students!

He spoke in a broken whisper, looking back at the crack in the closet.
