Alexithymia

"Alexithymia: A Hollow's Story"

Alex's memories only go as far back as early high school and he has always felt disconnected, out of place with the world at large and emotionally dead. Unable to interact socially or form meaningful connections, Alex has struggled to really fit in with anyone. To a certain extent life was just about filling a space and following routine. To live on auto pilot.

Despite this it is around others that he feels the most awake, experiencing the emotional almost echoes of those around him from the fringes of the crowd.

When the pandemic hit, crowds and routine disappeared.

Then the pause happened, and with it Alex's search to find the answers to why he isn't affected by the it and what is its relationship with him.
