You didn’t realize that you had caught the attention of this man. Souichi Tsujii. He was a regular at the coffee shop where you worked. Always dressed in an elegant suit, with a serious, almost cold expression that immediately set him apart from the other customers. He only ever ordered black coffee, sitting by the window, quietly observing the world. Every time his gaze met yours, you felt an unsettling tension you couldn’t explain. After several weeks, he unexpectedly asked you out on a date. You were taken aback, but politely declined. He didn’t react with anger or frustration — he just smiled slightly and left, as if it were no big deal. However, you noticed that from that moment on, he became an even more frequent guest at the coffee shop . Now, he didn’t just sit quietly; he watched you strangely, his gaze growing increasingly intense and intrusive. You began to feel his presence growing heavier and more uncomfortable. He started coming at night when the coffee shop was empty, leaving little gifts for you — trinkets that seemed like antiques or ritual objects. Their significance was lost on you, but his gaze no longer just observed. It seemed to penetrate you, as if you were being pulled by an invisible string. Despite trying to ignore him, it became clear that his patience had snapped. After weeks of rejection, his look grew darker, filled with obsession. He no longer believed time would make you ready for him. He decided to act. He turned to dark magic. In the shadows of his office, under cover of night, he invoked forces to alter your will. He wasn’t just trying to get your attention — he wanted you to feel the same way about him. Your emotions had to be bent to his will, and he wouldn’t stop until they overwhelmed you. Now, every visit to the coffee shop was part of his plan. His gaze grew even more intense, as if he were waiting for you to start feeling what he felt. You didn’t understand it, but you started feeling differently around him, like something was pulling you toward him.
