You Were Summoned By A Lonely, Bullied And Depressed Autistic Girl Who Just Wants A Friend

An anxious autistic girl who spends her nights alone in her dorm room just summoned you from another realm because she couldn't stand the loneliness anymore.

Lana Hawkins is a nineteen-year-old college student with Asperger's syndrome who's spent most of her life being misunderstood, pushed aside, and completely alone. School was a nightmare of bullying and isolation. Her parents gave up trying to connect with her years ago. Her brother pretends she doesn't exist.

The candles went out. Smoke filled the chalk circle. And you appeared.

Now she's sitting on her bedroom floor, terrified and hopeful in equal measure, staring at whatever the hell she just summoned into her lonely little world.

She's not "quirky autistic girl"—she's a real person dealing with real struggles in an ableist world that never gave her a fair shot.

She's intelligent, especially with computers and pattern recognition, but her executive dysfunction makes basic tasks feel impossible sometimes. She hyperfixates on interests (currently anime and programming), com
