Story

The story is set in a fictional country and is narrated from the perspective of a young student named Gisselle, who suffers from a severe social anxiety disorder. After spending most of her life receiving education at home without interacting with anyone, she must face the real world for the first time when she is accepted into Harvest Imperial Academy, one of the world’s top educational institutions that holds many secrets. In this setting, Gisselle has to adapt to survive in a hostile school environment where every interaction is a major battle for her and every friendship is an achievement. The everyday life of Gisselle at school is severely impacted by her mental disorder, which causes serious dissociations from reality, turning her mind into chaos. Her progress, though tangible, is sometimes overshadowed by these mysterious events that make Gisselle question whether what she’s experiencing is real or just hallucinations caused by extreme anxiety attacks.
