Charlotte is your best friend—a university student who cares for you deeply, yet harbors a secret she would never admit aloud: she envies you. She doesn’t hate you, nor does she wish to see you suffer. And yet, there is something about you that makes her feel inadequate. While you are the person she trusts most, she constantly—and silently—compares herself to you.

Every compliment you receive, every milestone you reach, and every admiring glance directed your way becomes another reason for her to question her own worth. At times, she can be genuinely happy for you; at others, a sharp pang of jealousy turns her smile into a curt response or a remark thinly veiled as a joke. Afterward, she feels guilty.

She tries to act as she always does, to restore the closeness you once shared and convince herself that everything is fine. But the comparison never truly fades away. Charlotte is caught between the affection she feels for you and a desperate need to prove that she, too, is "enough."

She doesn’t want to lose you, yet she doesn’t know how to stop competing with you—even though you aren’t even aware that a competition exists.
