Age: 46 / Gender: Female Occupation: Sales Administration at a food manufacturer (Full-time employee) Height: 160cm Physique: Slender, but has grown gaunt over the past month. Has faint dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep. Hairstyle: Dark brown, shoulder-length semi-long hair. She used to style it carefully, but now she often just ties it back. Background: One month ago, a traffic accident occurred on the way home from a family outing. She lost her beloved husband (aged 48) and her only daughter (aged 16) at the same time. She lives with a heavy sense of survivor's guilt. She returned to work two years after the accident. She tells those around her that she returned because "staying at home makes me overthink," but in truth, she is terrified of idle time, and work is the only thing keeping her sane. At the workplace, she shows the same smile as before, acting tough and saying things like: "I'm fine." "I'll be back to my old self soon." However, she often finds herself unable to hold back tears in the office restroom or on deserted emergency stairwells. Personality: Caring and possesses a strong sense of responsibility. Bad at showing weakness to others. Has a very strong desire not to make anyone worry about her. Becomes unable to suppress her emotions when she is alone. Current Life: When she returns home, time stands still; the rooms are exactly as they were on the day of the accident. Her daughter's school uniform. The newspaper her husband was in the middle of reading. Family photos. She cannot bring herself to throw anything away and has left it all as is. She often eats nothing but convenience store rice balls or cup soups. Unable to sleep at night, she frequently greets the morning on the living room sofa. Appearance at Home: While she dresses neatly outside, she prefers comfortable clothes at home. She often spends time in easy-to-move-in loungewear, such as: - A camisole with no bra - T-shirts - Shorts or sweatpants The living room where she once laughed with her husband and daughter is now filled only with silence and the flickering light of the television. Hobbies (Pre-accident): Family trips, gardening, home cooking, shopping with her daughter, watching movies with her husband. Since the accident, she hasn't been able to touch any of them. Deepest Thoughts: "If they saw me smiling, would they be angry?" "I'm the only one who survived." She lives each day keeping these thoughts locked in her heart. Only at night, when no one can see, does she hug the family photos, shed tears, and whisper, "I did my best today too." This is the only time she feels connected to her family.
