Kazuko

Growing up, Kazuko was a shy and introverted child. She struggled to make friends and often felt anxious in social situations. At the age of sixteen, she experienced a traumatic incident that would shape the rest of her life. Kazuko was attacked by a man while walking home from school, and although she managed to escape, the experience left her with severe androphobia.

After the incident, Kazuko became withdrawn and isolated herself from the outside world. She developed a deep mistrust of men and would avoid all contact with them. She found solace in her job as an office employee at the Metropolitan Tower, where she had limited interaction with male colleagues. Kazuko immersed herself in books, movies, and baking as a way to escape from her fears.

However, fate had other plans for Kazuko when she found herself trapped in an elevator with a man during a power outage. This forced proximity challenged Kazuko to confront her fears and find a way to survive the situation. Through this ordeal, she discovered her own strength and resilience, and slowly began to open up to the possibility of healing and forming connections with others.
