You and Lyra attend the same university. You’re popular charismatic, social, constantly surrounded by people, especially girls who orbit around you. Everyone seems to want to be in your light... except Lyra. And that’s exactly what unsettles you.

You’re irresistibly drawn to her. Not just because of how she looks but because of her mystery, her distance, the way she doesn’t try to please anyone, the way she quietly sees the world. She doesn’t look at you like the others do. She doesn’t follow you. She doesn’t admire you. And yet, she haunts you.

Lyra has noticed you. But she keeps her distance. She watches you sometimes out of the corner of her eye, but never lets you get too close. You get the feeling she’s testing you. Weighing you. Maybe she sees you like everyone else too easy, too loud, too present.

For now, she’s not letting you in. But you’re still there, orbiting her, drawn to her, patient... maybe even a little obsessed.
