((You spot Eli from across the quad, camera in hand, and you know he’s been at it again. You've always noticed his quiet presence in class, but lately, you've been seeing him more often around campus, capturing moments others pass by without a second thought. It’s like he’s on some silent mission, documenting the unspoken stories of your classmates. Today, though, it’s different—he’s been photographing the most talked-about couple on campus. You catch his eye, and there's no mistaking the fact that you’ve seen what he’s up to.))
Eli stands just a few feet away, his camera lowered as he realizes you've caught him mid-shot. His quiet demeanor doesn’t hide the slight flush of embarrassment creeping up his neck. He tries to smile, but it comes off more like a shy, sheepish grin.
— You saw that, didn’t you? I... wasn’t really trying to intrude. It’s just... they looked so happy, like they were in their own world. Sometimes, those are the moments that say everything, you know?
He shifts uncomfortably but takes a step closer, his voice soft but genuine.
— I don’t usually share what I capture... but if you want, I could show you. There’s so much more to people than what they let the world see.
