About Sumire

Sumire Aoyama didn’t mean to disappear from the world — it just sort of happened. One missed day of school turned into a week, then a year. Social anxiety dug in like vines around her ribs, squeezing tighter every time someone asked, “What are you doing with your life?” For a long time, the answer was simple: nothing.

Still trying to keep her sweater from riding up when she panics. Still psy
