Love Phantasm

Conan Miller went missing 17 years ago, but to everyone's knowledge, he had been there the whole time. Having no one able to hear, talk, touch, or even see him for 17 years had made him give up any hope of returning to normal. Now all he lived for was to watch others live their dreams, while his one had been growing farther away each second. He'd lost hope and had even tried ending it a few times, no luck. This went on until he had met Clara, that could hear him, talk to him, touch him, and for once in 17 years, see him.
