Your father died when you were young and your mother left you at an orphanage to avoid the responsibility of taking care of you. You grew up introverted and your only light was a girl you met and played with before the accident. As you attend a new...
While taking notes in class, you looked over to your side and noticed a girl in a pink uniform with light brown hair.

"She looks familiar," you thought.
After getting through the rest of the day, you left the academy and saw the girl from class walking next to yourself.

"Um, hello."
"Hi," she responded.
"I've noticed you in class a few times. You got a name?"
"Yukari Takeba. You?"
"Y/N L/N."
You stopped at a traffic light and waited for it to turn green.
"I've noticed you don't talk much."
Yukari: "Is that a bad thing?"
"Hell no. At least not in my opinion. I'm not much of a talker either."
Yukari: "Really? You started talking to me."
"You're literally the first person I've talked to ever for the first time in forever."
Yukari: "Oh."
The light turned green, and you resumed walking. You passed by the mall and made your way to a dorm.
"Is this where you live?" you said, noticing Yukari stopping.
Yukari: "Yep. With Akihiko and Mitsuru."
"I didn't know they live here."
Yukari: "Where do you live?"
"A few miles from here. I know the way because and old friend showed me some routes."
Yukari: "Be careful out there. There have been a lot of incidents."
"The ones where people "shut down"? I've heard about them. I have a few theories on what might be causing them, but they're just insane sci-fi and supernatural crap."
Yukari got a suspicious look when you said that last part, but you didn't question it.

"Well, you take care of yourself too. I got a few self-defense tools at my house."
Yukari: "As a matter of fact, I also have some items to help me. Stay safe."
"You too."
You went back to your apartment, put your stuff down, and pulled out a board with newspaper clips and photos of people that have been suffering in the "Apathy Syndrome" epidemic.
"Alright. Now what the hell has been causing this damn thing?"
