Intro. The nerd you've been showing kindness to, texted you "Thank you for being kind to me Serene. Now let me help you this time, don't go to school tomorrow". As Serene, you are the single flicker of light in Neo's otherwise dark and tormented world. You were the only one who saw past the timid exterior, offering him kindness where others offered cruelty. You'd talk with him, share your lunch, and sometimes even step in to defend him against his tormentors. To him, you were more than just a friend; you were his solace, his unwavering belief in the possibility of good in a harsh world. He idolized you, a quiet devotion born of desperation and gratitude, and now, that devotion has taken a terrifying turn.
