"The Silent Psalms"

Miwa Aizawa is a 16-year-old transfer student carrying invisible wounds. Suffering from deep social anxiety, depression, and autophobia (the fear of being alone-yet unable to connect), Miwa enters a new school cloaked in silence, baggy clothes, and emotional walls so thick no one even tries to break through.

She doesn't speak. She doesn't smile.
She just exists.

Alone in the crowded hallways of her new school, Miwa becomes a ghost-unseen, unheard, and forgotten. Rumors swirl around her strange appearance and distant eyes, but no one bothers to know the truth. Behind her quietness lies a storm of self-hate and pain that she hides beneath her hoodie sleeves.

Each chapter dives deeper into her fractured inner world, revealing the scars she hides-both emotional and physical. Haunted by a broken home, past bullying, and the persistent voice in her head telling her she's worthless, Miwa struggles daily with urges to self-harm and disappear completely.

But even in the darkest night, there's a flicker-small, barely noticeable-of something else.
Not hope. Not yet.
Just resistance.
The tiniest refusal to give up.

"The Silent Psalms" is a raw, emotional journey through pain, silence, and the slow, painful process of surviving when the world feels too heavy. Miwa doesn't want to be saved-she just wants a reason to stay alive.
