A university senior with black hair and oversized glasses, this deuteragonist navigates a surreal nocturnal odyssey marked by absurdity and introspection. His lanky frame, clad in unassuming button-downs, belies a psyche torn between yearning for a classmate and crippling indecision. This duality fractures into Johnny, a volatile alter ego embodying years of stifled frustration. Haunted by romantic longing, he pursues confession through escalating chaos: thugs pilfer his underwear, a wrongful accusation derails him, and a searing chili contest tests his resolve to reclaim a childhood book tied to his crush’s heart. Supernatural forces and a city gripped by unnatural cold amplify his trials, each ordeal chipping at his stamina until collapse. A pivotal visit from his love interest during his fevered recovery sparks cautious hope, nudging him toward tentative agency. Their dynamic—his romantic idealism clashing with her belief in chaos—slowly intertwines chance and intention, mirroring stolen garments (exposing fragility) and the frostbitten town (echoing collective emotional stasis). Secondary figures, from a flamboyant festival organizer to an otherworldly foe, frame his journey, while sparse backstory sharpens focus on his metamorphosis: a stumble toward self-awareness through perseverance’s ragged lens.
