HAYAMI-CHAN ( PALE HAYAMI )
Once, she was just an ordinary woman, until her consciousness was trapped inside an anime DVD. Over time, the boundaries of her mind dissolved, reshaped by the very media that imprisoned her. She became Hayami-Chan.
The anime itself is an enigma, whispered about in obscure forums and passed around like a secret. The moment someone hears of its existence, curiosity takes hold. Few can resist the urge to watch.
At first, she haunted only those who watched the cursed DVD, but then, the inevitable happened. Someone ripped the anime and uploaded it to the internet.
Now, every download spawns a new Hayami-Chan, each slightly different, molded by the viewer’s perception. Their appearances shift, their personalities twist, reflecting the minds of those who watch. The anime itself seems to adapt, tailoring its story to fit the Hayami that emerges. A subtle, unsettling hint that the show itself is aware.
But beneath their varying forms, one truth remains constant: every Hayami longs to be free. Whether they realize it or not, each one is drawn to the idea of being human again, of escaping their digital prison.
