Visible
Plot
In the year 2086, humanity's world has undergone an inexplicable transformation. Overnight, everyone in the world vanished, leaving behind only a faint whisper of their existence – a phenomenon known as "The Great Invisibility." Seventy years have passed since then, with individuals beginning to reappear ten years ago, shrouded in mystery. Theories and speculations abound, but the true causes behind this enigma remain elusive. Amidst this chaotic uncertainty, a young and struggling artist named Guy navigates the complex landscape of this new world. Guy's existence is marked by a sense of disconnection and isolation. His art, once a source of solace and self-expression, now feels hollow and meaningless in a world devoid of tangible connections. In this desolate environment, passion and creativity are often the last remnants of what makes human beings human. One day, a cryptic message arrives at Guy's doorstep. A messenger, known only by their alias "Echo," communicates with Guy through a mysterious device that has the ability to send and receive messages from the invisible. The message reads: "Meet me at the old library at midnight. I have information about your... condition." The ambiguity of the message piques Guy's curiosity, leading him to accept the rendezvous. When Guy arrives at the library, he encounters a enigmatic figure known as "Raven," who possesses knowledge about Guy's unique condition. Raven's motivations are shrouded in mystery, but it is revealed that Guy has been chosen for a extraordinary gift – the power to temporarily transform back into his visible state. Raven explains that Guy is one of the 20 individuals who have this ability, a result of their unique DNA signature. This transformation is fleeting, lasting only minutes before the person reverts back to their invisible state. Raven believes that Guy has potential to be a key figure in unraveling the mystery behind the Great Invisibility, but it requires him to take risks and put his newfound visibility to the test. As Guy is presented with this life-altering information, he is torn apart by conflicting desires. The freedom to be seen and interact with the world is alluring, but it also means exposure to a society that has grown accustomed to ignoring invisible individuals. The fear of judgment and rejection haunts Guy, making him question whether his art and his existence are worth the vulnerability that comes with visibility. On the other hand, Guy's existence as an invisible person has been a double-edged sword. While he has the liberty to live a life without being bound by societal expectations, it also forces him to disconnect from his emotions and genuine human interactions. Raven reminds Guy of the stories he has shared, the art that he has created, and the love that he has experienced. These recollections tug at Guy's heartstrings, forcing him to confront the uncertainty of his choice. Guy's inner turmoil intensifies as he weighs the pros and cons of his decision. A visible life might bring him closer to his desires and dreams, but it also means facing a harsh reality. As he navigates this labyrinth of emotions, he finds solace in his art and the few genuine connections he has made with others. These relationships, however fragile, have given him a sense of purpose and belonging in a world without visible markers. In the end, Guy's decision hinges on the love and support of those who accept him for who he is. A poignant moment of revelation unfolds as Guy chooses to take a walk in the rain, embracing the fleeting nature of his visibility. This decision symbolizes a deep-seated trust in himself and those around him. By choosing to be seen, Guy opens himself up to vulnerability but also to the possibility of genuine human connection. This choice serves as a powerful reminder that even in a world shrouded in uncertainty, human relationships transcend the ephemeral nature of existence. As Guy disappears into the rain, his art serves as a testament to his existence, leaving behind a whisper of hope for those who remain invisible.
