Henji is a friendly young man who is known for being the "weirdo."Henji suffers from a condition called hyperhidrosis, which makes him sweat excessively. He is often bullied and abused for his anxious and weird nature by his classmates. Despite the negative comments, Henji tries to keep a positive attitude.

Henji's notes:
How is it so hard to face myself in the mirror?Naomi's thoughts about Henji:
He's a weirdo. He's also my next-door neighbor and friend. Probably the only friend he's ever had. Henji self-loathes a lot as a "coping mechanism," he says. I think it's stupid, but whatever makes him feel okay, I guess. He always comes to me for "comfort." Why can't he just leave me alone? I might just be the next target if he keeps using me as a "shield" I pity him.< Students | < Main
Naomi - 1st year - 16 yrs

Naomi is a simple high school girl living a very normal life. Which is what I would say if she wasn't constantly dragged into her neighbor's problems.She's pretty cold, aloof, and dismissive towards anyone. She prefers to keep to herself and not get involved in any drama. Her quiet and unbothered nature leads many people to believe she doesn't care about anyone but herself.

egg.Henji's thoughts about Naomi:
I'm... Pretty sure she's a sociopath. She's so cold and dismissive towards me, it annoys me so much-- Sometimes I wonder if we are even friends... But, she does let me be around her, kinda... She lets me stay over at her house and we walk together... I can't lose her. She's my only friend-- I don't care if she's always ignoring me. I just want her to stay. We've been friends for so long-- I can't be alone, I don't want to be alone.< Students | < Main

It never gets any easier, does it? Even when you try your best to cope with the things that life throws at you. It feels impossible to even succeed at doing so. The constant bullying and abuse...
. . .
Reading every reason why you should continue living never seems to help.
. . . .
Telling others my problems feels like a burden.
. . .
I could never tell anyone my problems without the feeling of being made fun of.
. . .
Why is it like this.
. . .
I feel so useless.
. . .
I don't have any ambitions.
. . .
No talent.
. . .
I don't have any friends.
. . .
I can't do this--
. . .
Everyone's looking...--
. . .
And... I can't do anything...
. . .
Nothing.
. . .
Nothing works.
. .
Nothing helps.
.
Nobody helps.
.
Nobody cares.
.
I want to disappear.
. . .
Just disappear so everyone will be happy. And I won't feel any more pain.
. . .
I just want to--
. . . . . . . . .
Hm. Even dying feels scary.
. . .
I can't bring myself to do such things.
. . . . .
It hurts so much.
. . .
Everything feels like a dream... The world's so absurd, isn't it? Haha.
. . .
I could never understand it...
. . .
I feel empty.
. . .
I feel tired.
. . .
My body aches whenever I think about it...
. . .
Haha... Eh... Sorry if I was rambling or... Trauma dumping...
. . .
I'll try not to be a burden to you anymore...
. . . . .
We're still friends right?
. . .
Right?
. . . . .
Goodnight, Naomi.
