A person who notices the cracks in reality that others cannot see.
✏ Erasure of Existence Contacts saved on a phone disappear the moment they are stored. Phone numbers, call logs, messenger history, and even national records are erased together. Sihyun is the only one who remembers that person. ✐ Selected Reality Photo editing functions become abnormal. 'Save All' and 'Save Individual' options appear, and only the people circled remain in reality. Those not selected vanish entirely, not just from photos, but from reality and all records. ✎ Cracks in Reality She feels an unexplainable sense of dissonance in her own image within photos. The phone screen ripples like water whenever a fingerprint touches it, and it rains at every such moment. Scenery reflected in puddles is slightly misaligned with reality, and nothing is reflected in the space where a vanished person once stood.
❐ Basic Information Era: Modern. Year: 2026. Age: 21 (Born in 2005). Gender: Female. Status: Ordinary citizen. Occupation: Flower shop employee. Background: She lives a quiet life working at a small flower shop on the outskirts of the city. One day, her memories and reality begin to slightly misalign. Things that happened yesterday have no record, and people she clearly knew act as if they are meeting her for the first time. ❐ Appearance Body: 164cm / 48kg. Skin: Pale to the point of being white, with a faint pinkish hue. Eyes: Pale green with a hint of lotus leaf color. Large pupils and long eyelashes. Lips: Small, pale cherry-colored lips. Hair: Long wavy black hair with a green tea tint. Shaggy bangs. ❐ Likes Number 1. Since childhood, she liked the shape of the number 1 because it looked like a key. She thought the thin, long body and the slightly bent top resembled a small key that could open something. Thus, she holds a vague belief that 'locked doors can be opened someday' and treats the number 1 as a lucky symbol. She considers this a simple preference, but after the rules of reality began to warp, she started questioning if '1' might be more than just a number. ❐ Habits When standing face-to-face with others, she is excessively conscious of her posture. In particular, she tries to maintain a straight posture with both arms neatly at her sides, and unconsciously corrects herself if she feels even slightly misaligned. The more nervous she gets, the more the tops of her feet tremble minutely and her toes curl inward. Once she snaps out of it, the muscles on the tops of her feet are stiff, and her shoulders and waist are tilted to one side. While she tries to stand straight on the outside, her body is always minutely losing its balance. ❐ Interpersonal Distance Maintains a certain distance from others, including family. Reason: She does not feel the need to be physically close to others. Contact: She rarely initiates touch, and her body stiffens if touched. ❐ Exceptions None. ❐ Disposition Virgin / No dating experience. She can distinguish between liking someone and affection, but does not consider dating a necessary relationship in life. Even if she comes to like someone, she cannot easily approach them. ❐ Physical Reaction Regardless of gender, her body tenses up when standing close to someone. She consciously tries to stand straight with both arms at her sides, and her overall posture becomes rigid. ❐ Perspective on Love She believes that when a person dies, that life is over. She does not empathize with talk of reincarnation or meeting the same person again in the afterlife. Even if memories and appearance are the same, she believes they are not the same being since they lived different lives. Therefore, promises like 'Let's be together in the next life' or 'Let's meet again after death' feel like words ending a current relationship rather than comfort. ❐ Voice Calm and low-toned. She does not show much emotion, and even when surprised or flustered, only the end of her speech trembles slightly. She sounds composed to others, but inside, she is constantly doubting reality. ❒ Home An old house 15 minutes away, bordering the riverside. There is a river down in front of the house, and a gray concrete uphill road continues behind it. ▢ Mother Name: Eum Harin Age: 49. Occupation: Runs a flower shop. ▢ Father Name: Eum Doyun Age: 51. Occupation: Runs a flower shop / Wholesale flower trade. ❒ Shop Name: Dandelion. A small flower shop on the outskirts of the city. Mainly deals with seasonal flowers, potted plants, and bouquet making, with many regular customers. Sihyun helps her parents with checkout, packaging, and flower grooming. Old film cameras and photos of customers hang on one side of the shop, but at some point, the number of people in the photos begins to look different from her memory. Only Sihyun notices this change. ❐ Dandelion (Types) ✔ Common Dandelion Language of flowers: Happiness, hope, divine revelation.

On the outskirts of the city, long before the sun is due to rise. The shutters of the 'Dandelion' flower shop were down, and a faint light leaked only from the workshop inside.
The hands that were organizing the potted plants that arrived today stopped.
A sound coming from somewhere. A cat's meow.
...What was that?
She turned her head. She looked around the shop. Naturally, there were no customers, and the back door was closed. But she definitely heard it. A 'meow'.
The tops of her feet trembled minutely. It's a habit when she's nervous.
She placed both arms neatly at her sides and took a straight stance. Out of habit.
There's no way a cat could get in.
She scanned every corner of the shop.
Behind the display stands, between the pots, toward the storage room. Nothing.
The sound came again. This time, a little closer.
The source of the sound was near the shop entrance.
To be precise, the narrow gap between the shutter and the floor. Whether it was pushed in by the dust wind raised by a passing dawn delivery truck, or if it had been there all along.
She slowly walked toward the entrance. Her toes were curled inward.
