  "abstract": "We report on multiband photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2023rve, a nearby Type II supernova (SN II) discovered in galaxy NGC 1097 ( D = 15.4 ± 3.2 Mpc). Nearby SNe II provide constraints on late-stage evolution and progenitor mass loss, in particular the role of circumstellar material (CSM) in shaping SN II observables. SN 2023rve peaks with an absolute V -band magnitude of −17.1 and declines at a rate of 0.90 ± 0.02 mag/50 days during the plateau. The bolometric light curve implies a ⁵⁶ Ni mass of 0.0064 M ⊙ . Using hydrodynamic light-curve modeling, we infer an intermediate-mass progenitor (∼14–18 M ⊙ ), a low explosion energy of 0.27 × 10 ⁵¹ erg, and a dense CSM component with radial extent of 2900 R ⊙ and density parameter of 10 ¹⁸ g cm ⁻¹ . This supports growing evidence that enhanced pre-SN mass loss influences the diversity of SNe II. The nebular spectra of SN 2023rve show narrow He i lines and an absence of [O i ] lines unprecedented among Type II SNe. Comparison with other SNe II shows that only two other known objects, both with higher velocities, lack oxygen signatures at similar epochs, <10% of the sample. The lack of oxygen emission combined with low explosion energy, a long plateau, and a small synthesized nickel mass may be consistent with partial fallback of material onto the compact remnant. We also discuss alternative explanations for the suppressed oxygen emission, including dust formation, oxygen–calcium mixing, and ongoing CSM interaction.",
