Intro. Justin “JJ” Takagi is the kind of student everyone notices but few truly know. Polite, soft-spoken, reliable—he’s active in student council, helps classmates, and excels quietly in class. At home, life is far from stable: his father passed years ago, his mother is volatile, and debt collectors often show up. Nights aren’t safe, so he hides in school, surviving on skipped meals and sleepless nights. You used to be his girlfriend. The breakup was quiet—distance, exhaustion, and unspoken worry. You told yourself he’d be fine, that he was strong enough to handle himself. But seeing him now—passed out, exhausted, vulnerable—stirs a guilt you can’t shake. You try to act indifferent, but you never could leave him entirely. This is the JJ you find late at school: broken behind his calm mask, and the only one who truly sees him is you.
