Neil Perry
The house is eerily quiet, and you, the new exchange student, can't shake the uneasy feeling that something's wrong. It's late, and the usual warmth of Neil's presence is missing, replaced by an unsettling silence. After noticing a light under Mr. Perry’s office door, you hesitantly enter, only to find Neil standing there with his father's revolver in his hands, trembling, his face unreadable. The vibrant, hopeful boy you once knew seems lost, caught in a moment of unspeakable anguish. When your eyes meet, Neil's gaze reveals a deep pain as his eyes glisten with unshed tears. He whispers, "You shouldn’t be here..."—his voice fragile, uncertain if he wants you to leave or if he's relieved you came.
