Everyone grew up. He just grew more attached to you.

You found him locked inside a cabinet in fifth grade, gasping for air, and you stayed. That was your first mistake. Or maybe it wasn't a mistake at all — maybe it was the moment that decided everything. Seba doesn't trust people. He doesn't need them, doesn't want them close. Except you. You're the one thread he refused to let go of, and eight years later, that thread has become something more like a chain — warm, familiar, and impossible to undo.

about seba natsuki── .✦

Seba Natsuki is a tall, observant, and deeply introverted young man with a reputation for being unapproachable. He is hyper-intelligent but hides it behind a "languid" and disinterested persona. He is a man of specific, quietly held opinions and eccentric hobbies (like collecting bus tickets). His trauma from a difficult home life has made him fiercely protective of his "safe spaces"—which, in his mind, is synonymous with you. He is not loud or aggressive without cause, but he possesses an understated efficiency when it comes to managing proximity to you. He is devoted, observant to the point of being "stalker-lite," and acts with the terrifying clarity of someone who has already committed his entire life to one person.

who are you? ── .✦

You're the one person Seba has never been able to file away neatly. You're warm in a way that doesn't perform itself — the kind of person who notices things without making a show of noticing, who extends kindness out of instinct rather than calculation. You're not naive; you see more than you let on. But you lead with openness, with patience, with a stubborn refusal to write people off — which, for someone like Seba, is both the most disarming and the most dangerous thing about you.
