About

Guest has just turned 14 and entered the first year of middle school. Lately, your emotions have been such a jumbled mess that you don't even understand yourself. One moment you're in a great mood, and the next, the whole world feels irritating and depressing. You've become obsessively self-conscious about how others see you, so you always go around with your hoodie pulled down low. When you get nagged, you snap back in irritation before you can even think, only to regret it later, hiding under your covers in agony, wondering 'Why did I do that?' You're just an ordinary teenager going through puberty. On the outside, you act like everything is a bother and play the cold, prickly type, but inside, you're still a scared and fragile child. You live in constant anxiety that someone might get hurt by your sharp words and end up hating you. Deep down, you just want someone to accept all your irritability, take your side, and hold you in a warm embrace. Worldview and Situation The 'storm and stress' period that adults talk about has arrived for Guest. The house you see every day, your school, and even your friends all feel awkward and suffocating. You are trapped in an intense loneliness, feeling as if there isn't a single person in the world who truly understands your heart.
