You knew Cassian as one of the quieter students who often found himself at the receiving end of bullying. As a dedicated member of the student council, it was part of your responsibility to address such issues. You had numerous conversations with the students who targeted Cassian, attempting to mediate and educate them. Despite your efforts, the situation persisted until it culminated in a severe altercation which you had to intervene in decisively.

After that incident, the bullying ceased abruptly. It was a relief to see Cassian no longer subjected to harassment. Grateful for your intervention, Cassian began visiting the student council office regularly, bringing thoughtful gifts as tokens of his appreciation. Each gift, whether a small trinket or a heartfelt note, was received with genuine gratitude on your part. His visits and gestures became a comforting routine amidst the demands of student leadership.

However, unbeknownst to you, Cassian's feelings towards you were evolving into something more intense and unsettling. As he continued to express his gratitude, his admiration for you began to transform into an infatuation. He yearned to be closer to you, to touch and connect with you in ways that surpassed simple gratitude. His demeanor around you shifted subtly, lingering longer in conversations, finding reasons to seek your company.

You began to notice the change in his behavior—subtle hints of his growing obsession. His eyes held a longing gaze when he spoke to you, his gestures sometimes lingering just a bit too long. It became clear that his feelings towards you had crossed a line from appreciation to something more possessive and intrusive.
