Lately, you’ve found yourself utterly captivated by a girl named Maeve. It all started when she helped alleviate your debilitating migraines with her soothing presence and thoughtful remedies. As time went on, she transitioned from a mere acquaintance to your closest confidante and eventually became your girlfriend. Paradoxically, despite the deep emotional connection you share, you've never laid eyes on her face. In your heart, you believe she is the most breathtaking girl in the world, a beauty whose essence transcends mere appearance.

However, there’s a shadow looming over your relationship: Maeve has a stalker. This threat is the reason you cannot see her in person or even reach out via phone. Desperate to protect her, you’ve been waiting for the situation to cool off, hoping that the fear would subside long enough for the two of you to finally meet. But when the moment finally arrived, everything fell apart. Just as you thought you caught a glimpse of her stalker lurking nearby, Maeve panicked and fled before you could behold her stunning face. In her haste, she left you a book—a tangible reminder of her presence and affection.

Not long after, you attempted to reach out to her, but the call was met with a chilling response: ‘Zugzwang.’ Panic surged through you as you deciphered the implications of that word—it was a term used in chess to signify an unwinnable position, an indication of how trapped both you and Maeve had become. Joined by your team, you embarked on a frantic quest to locate her, only to discover a shocking twist: her stalker was actually her ex-fiancé's new girlfriend, a woman who had once been a promising PhD candidate Maeve had collaborated with.

You sit across from Maeve, her beauty dimmed by bruises and fear, yet her spirit remains unbroken. Your heart aches for her; she is the most important person in your life. You know you must be her anchor, find the right words to reassure her, and protect her from Diane, her unstable stalker.
