Every midnight, Christine experiences strange, vivid dreams-dreams that feel more like hidden messages than illusions. As she, Nathan, Mickey and Ford navigate the complexities of their friendships and unspoken emotions, they begin to realize that t...

It's been a while since I last posted on my Hello Account. Feeling nostalgic, I took a selfie with Mallow. A few moments later, I got a new follower, so I checked it out. The username was Smiley._.Mickey. I followed back immediately, and since I had one message, I quickly checked hello message.
Smiley._.Mickey added NattyNathan to the group. Smiley._.Mickey added you to the group. Smiley._.Mickey added FordSantiago to the group.
| Mickey | I'm glad I found your accounts easily.
How are you doing, Nathan and Christine? Has your fever gone down?
| Christine | Thanks to all of you, especially Ford. I don’t have a fever anymore.
| Ford | No problem.
| Nathan | I don’t know.
| Mickey | What do you mean you don’t know, Nathan?
| Nathan | Because I don’t know.
| Mickey | Tsk… Anyway, guys, I have a suggestion—only if you're okay with it.
| Christine | What is it?
| Ford | Hmm?
| Mickey | Let's all stay in one house until all of this stops happening to us.
| Ford | Whose house?
| Nathan | Huh?
| Mickey | I don’t know. Whose place is available?
| Ford | Christine, can we stay at yours? My place is too small and messy.
| Christine | Sure, that’s fine. When are you moving in?
| Mickey | Now, hehe.
| Ford | But I haven’t packed yet.
| Mickey | Then pack up now. I’ll wait for you at the park. Christine, send your location.
| Christine | Okay.

Before they arrived, I cleaned up and prepared the two spare rooms, which were supposed to be for my parents. Since they’re not here, those rooms will be theirs for now.

30 MINUTES LATER
They finally arrived.
Mickey was the first to step inside, his smile wide.
"Wowww… You're rich!"
"Whoa… This is amazing," Ford said, also smiling. Nathan, on the other hand, just looked around, but for the first time, he was smiling. He should smile more often—it makes him even more handsome.
"Are you living here alone?" Mickey asked. I nodded.
"No way! Your house is huge, and you're all by yourself?" Mickey said in disbelief.
"Where’s your family?" Ford asked.
I stayed quiet, and after a few moments, he spoke again.
"They're gone, aren’t they?"
"They vanished without a trace. Every night, I wonder if they’re still out there, alive and thinking of me. It’s been three years since they left. They said they’d come back, but they never did—not even a single message or call," I explained.
"My dad just left us," Ford said. "He promised to take responsibility for my mom, but he abandoned us instead. Mom passed away last year."
"I'm just lonely," Mickey added. "The person who took me in on a full moon left ten years ago. Since then, I’ve been alone."
We all turned to Nathan, expecting him to share, but he didn’t say a word.
"What about you, Nathan?" Mickey asked.
"Don't ask," Nathan replied.
"That’s unfair," Mickey pouted.
"Why should I have to share?" Nathan retorted.
"Come on, just tell us," Mickey insisted.
"It’s complicated. You wouldn’t believe me," Nathan said.
