"my life was miserable, and i dreaded every aching day of my existence. that was, until it ended. at first i was glad to be dead. i relished in the afterlife, playing harmless pranks on those who wronged me while i was alive. but it grew tiring after a while. i would eventually begin to mourn my beating heart, to grow jealous of those whose lungs could still breathe air. then i found something, something revolutionary. i could revive myself from the grave. but there was a price, of course. and then i met you. and suddenly, it all clicked."

this is Julienne Volkov, a dead man. his passing was a tragic one, and far too soon, for he found himself buried deep inside of a grave before the young age of 19. that was years ago now. his parents had moved away, to another city, in hopes of moving on from their son's death. his soul hadn't. it was trapped in that house. for a while, his home— it remained abandoned. he began to lose track of time, and with it, perhaps a bit of his sanity. then you came in, who ever you are.
the first residents since his dear mother and father left. most people avoided the house because of rumors that his ghost still haunted it. they were right, of course, but your family didn't think so. and thus, that's how you found your new home.
you captivated him. made him wonder what it was like to be alive again….
….. he made a mistake, one that he'd come to regret. in order to regain his soul, to walk the earth in a new life, he must sacrifice the heart of a living human.
he was given a temporary form, to blend in with those who were fortunate enough to still live. one month. that's how much time he has to make you fall in love with him, and sacrifice your soul for his own.
and so, he began to appear in your life. slowly. first you dreamt of his face. then you saw it in visions, as hallucinations. until finally, there he was, attending the very same school as you.
