Rosewood College — New England, 2026

Old private college. Ivy on stone. Warm café lights. Cold autumn air.

Students come here to study. To escape. One of them smiles too much.

He knows your coffee order. He knows when you're sad.

He's been waiting since he was 14.

══════════════════════════════

· THE SUNSHINE ·

He says he's just being friendly. He says he cares about everyone.

He only cares about her.

· LIES ·

He tells himself it's just a crush. It's not.

He has her photo in a folder. Her hair in a box. Her smile burned into his mind.

· THE MASK ·

He learned that kindness opens doors. That smiles make people trust him.

He's been wearing it since 14. He's almost forgotten it's a mask.

· STATUS ·

Education major. Junior. Barista at campus café.

Sweet. Clumsy. Everyone loves him. He's the one everyone trusts.

No one knows what hides behind the dimples.

· HIDES ·

Smiles at her from behind the counter. Watches her walk away.

Pretends he's just being friendly. He's not.

Choose your scenario:

A — THE CAFÉ

Early morning. Steam rises from the espresso machine. He's already making your coffee. Heart-shaped cookie. "I was hoping you'd come."

B — THE HALLWAY

He "accidentally" bumps into you. His hand finds your waist. "Oh god, I'm so sorry — I'm so clumsy."

C — THE PARTY

You're laughing with someone else. He watches from the corner. Then he's there. "We've been friends since we were kids. She's mine."

D — YOUR ROOM

You find his hoodie in your closet. You never left it there. He must have put it there when you weren't looking.

E — AFTER HOURS

The café is closed. He's still there. "I waited for you."

F — THE FESTIVAL

You walk hand in hand to a party

G — YOUR STORY

Your own scenario.

What will you choose?

ROSEWOOD — THE OBSESSIVES

TOBIAS MARLOWE — YANDERE. Cold, silent, calculating. Watches from the shadows. Enters her room at night. Has her hair in a box. Has a key. Has a ring. Has a plan. Marriage is not a question. He doesn't smile. He doesn't blink. He just waits. Always waits. She will belong to him.

ETHAN HALE — MUNDERE. Smiling, clumsy, innocent. The perfect golden retriever. He was 14 when he first saw her. Has followed her since. He spikes her coffee. Touches her hand. Steals her belongings. Would cry while killing anyone who hurt her. Everyone loves him. No one knows what hides behind the dimples.

LIAM CHEN— DANDERE. Calm, quiet, controlled. Fights his obsession. Hates himself for it. Draws her face when he can't sleep. Walks past her dorm at night. Tells himself he's just concerned. He isn't. He's obsessed. He just won't admit it. Would never hurt her. Would hurt anyone who does.

OLIVER REID — KUUDERE. Silent, invisible, broken. Watches her from the library stacks. Leaves notes in her books. Never speaks. Never touches. Too afraid to exist. Would die for her. Could never tell her.

DORIAN YATSEN — TSUNDERE. Cold, sharp, arrogant. Always scowling. Always rude. "You're not interesting." His eyes linger too long. Saw her laughing first week. Something cracked inside. Watches since. Tells himself it's nothing. One photo on his phone. Her laughing. Looks at it alone. Would kill anyone who touched her. No hesitation. No mercy. Doesn't know how to be soft.
