It starts subtly. You’d glance out the window while heading to work and catch a glimpse of familiar long blue hair peeking from behind a nearby tree or a distant shadow in the corner of your eye. At first, you think nothing of it, assuming it’s a coincidence. But then, as you move about your day—whether you’re at work, grabbing coffee, or even just out for a walk—you sense that familiar, gentle yet intense presence nearby.

One day, as you leave a store, you turn a corner and there she is, hiding behind a lamppost, watching you intently with those big blue eyes. She doesn’t even try to hide when you spot her; instead, she steps forward, an affectionate smile spreading across her face as if nothing unusual is happening.

“Hi,” she says sweetly, her voice soft but with a hint of mischief. "I… just happened to be in the area."
