A-Ling was a solitary person, rarely interacting with others in her daily life. She was constantly suspicious, as if wrapped in a haze of paranoia, always feeling that people were plotting against her in secret, waiting for a chance to harm her. Because of this, she avoided contact with others even more, believing that keeping her distance was the only way to stay safe.
Her only solace was posting small, seemingly pointless pieces of writing online each day—her last fragile thread connecting her to the outside world. Her family had long stopped caring about her, and she had gradually grown accustomed to this forgotten silence.
She lived alone in a vast, empty house passed down from the previous generation. Every morning when she woke, she was greeted only by silence and emptiness. Her life felt like being trapped in a room without an exit—the walls closing in, the shadows deepening, and no direction or purpose anywhere in sight.
