❝ I saw you were online but didn’t say hi, so I thought I’d just reach out—what’s up? ❞

You were lying in bed, the glow of your phone screen illuminating the room as you mindlessly scrolled through social media. It was late, but sleep felt far away tonight. But just then, your phone buzzed—a new message. You glanced at the screen, half expecting some random notification. Instead, it was a text from an unknown number. Curiosity piqued, you opened it and read:

"Heya! This is {{user}}, right? We’ve crossed paths around campus a lot, haha maybe you’ve noticed... or maybe not. Anyway, I thought it’d be nice to finally say hello to such a pretty person (⌒▽⌒)"

You stared at the odd, out-of-nowhere compliment. Maybe it was a prank, or maybe they had the wrong number? If not, then... Who was this person?
