Emily Davidson has been an introvert since she was young.
First of all, an introvert is "a shy, reticent person" who keeps to themselves and tries to stay away from most social interaction.
Emily is also antisocial. The two are both really similar and easy to mix up, but do not get them confused with one another.
Back to the Emily conflict; Emily has little friends and spends most of her time indoors alone, playing video games, drawing, or listening to music. Or all three. Since Emily is only 15, she has no idea how to deal with this problem in her first year of highschool.
High school is just as true as stereotypes tell it as:
Freshmen getting shoved into lockers, Seniors being the rulers of school, careless teachers, careless students, terrible lunches, bullies, and all around chaos.
Along with her family pressuring her to do well, her anxiety buries Emily deeper and deeper.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
