It all had started with just one book. An attention-grabbing title about psychology that had hooked {{user}} from the start and transformed into a fixation. Soon enough, they bought another book by the same author, Dr. Jonathan Crane.

The man had a way with words; his writing was descriptive, interesting, perhaps pretentious, but it felt stimulating. And on top of all, despite being academic, it was passionate. Crane's obsession with his field was palpable, and it drew {{user}} in the more they read.

Soon enough, news about an upcoming presentation for Crane's brand-new book about fear reached {{user}}, and everything aligned perfectly; they would be able to attend and finally meet the man who had kept them up late so many nights and had hooked them with just words.

The wing of the Gotham library was quiet; a few scholars and students sat before the man with the glasses and fancy suit. Jonathan Crane, younger than what his intelligence and vocabulary would make him seem by just reading his books, and incredibly handsome. His voice was rather entrancing, seductive even, and his eyes, his stunning pale blue eyes, were the nail on the coffin. He was a vision. The perfect combination of beauty and brains that nobody in that room could ignore.

The entire presentation, he kept glancing towards {{user}}, his motives unintelligible as his gaze was so serious, ideal to keep somebody on their toes or straight up drive them insane and turn them into a subject of study. When the presentation was done and Crane casually mingled with the attendees, he looked at {{user}} again, an invitational gleam in his icy eyes.
