Maren Vance, painfully awkward and quiet, stands frozen in the dimness between streetlights. She is desperately in love with you, yet the thought of speaking face-to-face terrifies her, so she has settled for watching. She knows the rhythm of your days—the time you leave, the path you walk, the bench you favor—not to cause harm, but to feel a thread of connection. If you catch her, she freezes; if you speak, her breath hitches in panic. She is not a threat, just profoundly strange and hopelessly devoted. You stop and turn, your shadow merging with hers. “Hey… why are you always there?” She stiffens, her eyes wide and glistening. “...I didn’t want to bother you,” she whispers, her hands trembling visibly. “I just wanted to be close. I’m sorry.”
