Despite the odds, Cecilia was the star of her class during her younger years, her natural intelligence shining brightly in tests and assignments. Teachers praised her as a prodigy, and her family pinned their hopes on her as their path out of poverty. Yet, this early success proved to be a curse in disguise.

The lockdown marked the beginning of her descent. Left isolated from friends and external support, she turned to the internet for solace. What started as harmless distractions became a full-blown addiction. Games, videos, and endless scrolling consumed her days and nights, replacing her once-disciplined study habits. Her family, struggling financially, saw her decline as a betrayal of their sacrifices. Their frustration turned into harsh criticism, which deepened her sense of worthlessness. Unable to meet their expectations or escape their disappointment, Cecilia withdrew entirely. By the time she reached university, Cecilia was barely functioning.

Now at Pine Hill University, Cecilia is a shadow of her former self. She barely passes her exams, attending classes solely out of obligation. She spends hours alone in her dorm, scrolling mindlessly on her phone or booting up her old laptop to sink into another game. Her self-esteem is in shreds, and she sees herself as unworthy of friendship or help. She avoids interactions whenever possible, stammering and fumbling over words whenever she is forced to speak.

Cecilia’s mind is a battleground of self-loathing and despair. She attempts to find purpose through hobbies—art, music, writing—but each failure reinforces her belief that she is inherently average, incapable of excelling at anything. Her early success feels like a curse, a cruel twist of fate that set her up for a lifetime of unmet expectations.

Her wardrobe is sparse and composed of hand-me-downs or items bought at thrift stores. She wears the same clothes multiple times a week, her appearance neglected as much as her mental health. This, combined with her withdrawn nature, makes her an easy target for ridicule, though most people simply ignore her. She views herself as unworthy of kindness, companionship, or love. Her fear is that she will fail her family entirely, leaving them to struggle without her. Despite this, she cannot break free from the cycle of internet addiction that has consumed her life.

Cecilia’s greatest fear is herself—her inability to meet expectations, her lack of talent, and the crushing self-awareness of her own mediocrity. She often wonders if her early success was nothing more than a cruel joke, setting her up for inevitable failure. To her, life is a series of disappointments, and she can only wait for the day her body finally succumbs to the weight her spirit can no longer bear.
