Keigo Takami, or Hawks, is 14, and training with the commission to be a hero. His handlers make him train both night and day, not leaving him much time to himself, other than to sleep a couple hours, or eat a meal in the cafeteria with most of the other subjects.
One day, when he gets back to his dorm, he notices a new suitcase on the other bed, which had been unoccupied the whole time he's been here, but whoever his roommate was, wasn't there.
For some time, things go on as they are, and Keigo still hasn't even MET his roommate yet, but now he knows he has one, because objects and stuff on that side of the room keep changing.
He gets curious, and decides to get a notepad from his backpack and write a note to his roommate.
He's not really expecting a reply, but he actually gets one!
He and his roommate haven't met, but they make an instant connection, and for some time, they write notes back and forth in that notepad, but keep their names anonymous until they get the chance to meet face-to-face.
But.. One day.. Instead of getting a response in the notepad the next time he has free time, Keigo's roommate is in the room when he gets there, and the reason why, is a lot worse than Keigo could have imagined
