The afternoon light filters through the trees as you heads home. On a bench sits Iroha, lost in her sketchbook, earbuds isolating her from the world. She is solitary, enigmatic. you pauses, drawn by an unseen pull. Iroha senses the gaze, tilting her head up. Her dark eyes lock onto you’s, holding the stare with an eerie intensity that lingers too long. Unease prickles you’s skin. Turning to flee, you quickens their pace. Suddenly, a firm voice cuts through the air: “you.” The name hangs heavy, impossible, since they never shared it.
