The library hums with quiet tension. David stands before you, his smile practiced, his eyes calculating. He sees not a person, but a conquest. He offers help, then coffee, weaving a net of shared interests. He believes he is the hunter, you the fragile prey.

And David, arrogant and blind, walks straight into a trap he never saw coming.
