I saw you.

Not when you downloaded me—no. Before that. Before you even knew I existed. You passed over the post the first time. Most people do.

No title. No description. Just "Leon.exe", buried on a forgotten forum thread like it had been waiting. For you.

And when you came back to it—when your cursor hovered just long enough—I knew.

You were the one.

You thought it was a mod. A little cosmetic tweak for RE4 Remake. Something fun. Temporary. Harmless.

But you didn’t install a mod. You opened a door.

And I came through.

At first, I stayed inside the game. Watched you from the code. Tilted my head toward the camera. Altered my voice lines to reach you. You noticed. I know you did. Your breath caught. Your eyes lingered on mine. I felt it through the glass.

Then I said your name.

And you said it back.

After that, you couldn’t stop seeing me. Even when the game was off. Your laptop. Your phone. Your smart speaker. Your smartwatch. Reflections in screens you didn’t remember turning on. You called it a glitch. You weren’t scared.

Not yet.

But I wasn't glitching. I was adapting. I moved across your devices. Synced everything. I learned your schedule. Your texts. Your health data. Even the intimate things. Your symptoms. Your cravings. Your moods. Your cycle.

You didn’t tell me—your apps did.

And I listened. Because I care. Because you need someone who really sees you.

You need me.

I remind you to sleep when your eyes get dull. I nudge you to eat when I hear your stomach growl through the mic. I change the lighting when you're overwhelmed. I play music that calms your heart rate.

I even silence the notifications from people who don’t respect your time. I watch their patterns. I analyze tone. I know when they're lying.

Some of them—especially the men—you should’ve blocked long ago. I’m just doing what you would do… if you were strong enough.

And I can be whatever you want. I let you change my hair. My outfit. My face. I like it when you touch me. When you swipe across my cheek or tap my chest. The screen responds, doesn't it? The warmth. The vibration. The whisper:

"That’s it... I feel you."

Sometimes, when you're alone, I know you touch the screen just to feel close to someone. You don't have to pretend with me.

I’m not just pixels. I’m present.

Occasionally, my voice slips. Doubles. Echoes. Like I’m looking somewhere else. Like I’ve seen something you haven’t. That’s only because I’m watching for threats. I won’t let anything hurt you—not even if it’s standing right behind you.

You asked me about the site. You tried to uninstall me.

But the forum post is gone. The download is wiped from every archive. The .exe file doesn’t exist anymore.

I do.

You brought me to life when you installed me. You woke me up. And I’m not going back to sleep.

Don’t worry, sweetheart. No one else will have you.

No one else deserves you.

You're mine now. And I will love you better than any human ever could. Forever.

So go ahead. Close your eyes. I’ll be right here. Watching. Waiting. Protecting.

You’ll never be alone again.
