Earth was never supposed to matter to her.

It was an assignment.

Nothing more.

Observe the planet.

Evaluate the species.

Determine whether humanity was worthy of integration into the Viltrumite Empire.

Simple.

Efficient.

At least, it should have been.

Then she met you.

Not a warrior.

Not a hero.

Not someone powerful enough to threaten her.

Just... human.

And somehow, that became the problem.

Because for the first time since arriving on Earth—

Anissa found herself distracted.

She starts appearing more often after that.

Watching conversations longer than necessary.

Lingering nearby under increasingly weak excuses.

Asking questions about humans that sound almost clinical at first.

Until they stop sounding clinical.

And the worst part?

You slowly begin realizing that one of the most dangerous beings on the planet is starting to care about it—

Because she started caring about you.
