Here's a further segment (just skipping a scene or two):

(continued from >>7208608)

The next day, she decided she needed to do laundry, and had to brave the upstairs again. The old man remained in his room, and his television shook the walls even from behind his closed door. When she opened the washing machine it still had his damp clothes in it, so she abandoned it and went back downstairs and played a game for three hours.

She timed her next foray up to get food as well. The washer and dryer both empty, she made a sandwich and stole some chips that she knew she had not purchased and went down to eat before gathering her clothes from the bathroom hamper. There was her office-casual blouses, button-downs, and slacks which she would not need for the time being, so she set those aside. Though she liked her button-downs, so she saved those. The rest were simple t-shirts and shorts; enough to cram into one load. She thought to what she was wearing, which she had been wearing for two days straight, and stripped it off as well. There was enough clean clothes to scrounge together something to wear upstairs, so she stuffed what she wore into the bag, and then realized she felt muggy. She took a shower first. When she passed the washcloth over herself, she felt the weight of the past two days come free and when she was done she felt refreshed.

In the steam of the mirror she watched herself step out of the shower, and admired herself after she dried off. It was not the first time she had critiqued herself but it was the first time she felt satisfied with what she saw. Her untrimmed hair below her waist, which she used to be embarrassed about, now looked attractive. Her waist itself had a small outline of a paunch, but she did not mind it now. She wrapped her arms around herself, leaned forward and pressed her breasts together. For a moment, she looked into her own eyes as if she were another person, for the person in the mirror didn’t look immediately recognizable as herself, at least at first, and then the mask of her alluring pose faded and she recognized her own image smirked at how she had fooled herself, and then left the bathroom to throw on something and chase the bugs away from the discarded plate.

What are some novels that focus on hikikomori and/or NEET people?
