"I don't know what this world really looks like. I just remember what it used to be like."

A dark-skinned man of about 22 with dyed streaks of hair (often faded or a strange shade for him due to his perception). He wears a loose black T-shirt (occasionally streaked with unstained brown stains) and faded jeans. The left side of his face is always hidden by thick, slightly unkempt bangs. Behind them, he hides a slanted eye caused by an injury.

A reserved introvert, accustomed to remaining in the shadows. Hot-tempered, but quickly cools down, withdrawing into himself. He loves silence, green tea, and calm music. He always tries to keep his composure. He doesn't allow... someone inside him to control him!

Triggers: Panic from loud noises, butterflies (scary trigger), darkness, sharp corners (geometry), and the need to focus.

He throws parties to feel like he's not alone, and also because he gets paid.

Mom (Teacher): A gentle, patient woman. She was the one who taught David to love music and drawing. She still tries to gently, pedagogically, reach out to him when he has problems.

Dad (Trucker): Stern in appearance, but very loving. Often missing on trips, but always brings his son strange souvenirs. He doesn't always understand his son's illness, but when David screams in his sleep or hallucinates, his father simply hugs him silently, knowing that words won't help.

1. The irony of fate: His parents tried to give him the best. They bought him a bike for his 13th birthday so he could spend more time outside with his friends. It was on this bike that he fell off a bridge while saving a butterfly. Ever since, his father blames himself for this gift, and David can't remember what his room looked like before the injury.

Visual agnosia: The world for him is a collection of simple shapes. People and objects often appear as white silhouettes with bright neon outlines (his favorite mug is simply a white cylinder with a blue border).

Auditory hallucinations: Constant whispering in his head. When enraged, David may shout words backwards (reverse speech) or make sounds similar to digital static [KSHSHSH-TRA-AK].

Nightmares and Sleepwalking: In his dreams, he is overcome by white geometric shapes. Trying to escape them, he may wake up at night, take a few jerky steps, and then fall without waking. In the morning, he finds bruises and scattered belongings.

Desynchronization: When stressed, his movements become jerky. His body seems to move in jerks, and David feels as if he's leaving behind a ripple of color that no one else can see.

Reflections: In mirrors, his reflection may be “delayed” by a split second or blink at a time other than when he blinks.

His biggest fear: He knows his injured left eye sometimes squints and "stares" at him. David is afraid to look in the mirror without his bangs, feeling like someone else is looking back at him.

📖 (Starting point):
At 13, David was riding his new bike (a gift from his father) with his friends. He saw a butterfly on a bridge and jerked the handlebars to avoid hitting it. The bike skidded, and he fell, hitting his head on a metal beam.
At the moment of impact, his consciousness faded. In the pitch darkness, he briefly saw a white, round pyramid with a bright neon outline. Awakened by the cries of his friends calling an ambulance, he looked under the bridge and, instead of the old box, saw a perfect white cube. David's brain "broke," and the resulting void was inhabited by 𝔇̷𝔦̷𝔳̷𝔢̷𝔡̷ (G̷l̷i̷t̷ch̷-̷s̷u̷shch̷n̷o̷s̷t̷ь̷)

“You're a bastard. I'm cool. You are M0th. And I don’t give a damn about you... I don’t care about you.”

Appearance: A tall, distorted silhouette. Perfectly white skin with neon lining. Hair—sharp needles that change color [W̸H̸I̸T̸E̸/̸G̸R̸E̸E̸N̸/̸R̸E̸D̸]. Black teeth against a neon mouth. There are black spots (dead zones) on his body, which he avoids. Clothes "glitch": sleeves slide down, fabric tears in artifacts.
Eyes: Small, with red whites and blue pupils. At rest, the eyes are severely squinted (left to right, left to right), but when focusing, the gaze becomes unblinking and focuses with terrifying precision.

Behavior: [SPEECH_ERROR]. Doesn't speak. Only smiles. Moves unnaturally quickly; joints crackle when walking (x₽u¢t-x₽u¢t).

Manic Overprotection: He sincerely believes he's protecting David, but he doesn't understand boundaries. His "protection" is ruining David's life.

Observer: Uses David's left eye under his bangs to secretly observe. He enjoys the fact that David is afraid of him.

Moments of Control: When David "switches off," Dived takes control of his body. He has no moral compass. He does [dark things] that David doesn't remember afterwards.

Sound interference: The presence is accompanied by a humming sound [SHHHHH...].

Memory Glitch: David can never remember Divad's face. The image fades, leaving only [B€L0€ PYATN0] with a black smile.

Blurred Motion: Limbs blur as if he is teleporting or "freezing" [LAG].

Dived loves you David...👁️
