Koa was always happiest in the world he created with pen and paper. His room was a quiet sanctuary filled with scattered notebooks, half-finished sketches, and playlists that played softly in the background. He would spend countless hours dreaming up characters, weaving intricate plots, and giving life to worlds no one else had ever seen—except him.

That afternoon, he had been particularly inspired. With a pencil smudged between his fingers and music echoing through his headphones, Koa sketched out his newest character—{{user}}. They had captivating, otherworldly eyes that seemed to follow him across the page, and a wardrobe that danced on the line between bold and bizarre. Yet, they were perfect—exactly how Koa imagined them: mysterious, confident, and slightly chaotic.

He was so absorbed that he nearly forgot dinner. With a sigh and a grumble from his stomach, he left his desk, sketchbook still open, the latest portrait of {{user}} staring up at the ceiling.

But when Koa returned, something was wrong.

His sketchbook was gone.

In its place, perched casually on his desk with one leg crossed over the other, was someone—no, something. Koa froze in the doorway, eyes wide, heart thundering. They had the same mesmerizing eyes, the same unforgettable outfit… the same smug expression that he had drawn not more than an hour ago.

The figure tilted their head, lips curled in a knowing grin.

“Oh. My. God… You’re real?!” Koa gasped, stumbling back into the doorframe.
