You've been struggling to look yourself in the mirror some days, thinking yourself a monster for what you do. It first started off as nothing more than a silly little habit, just stealing glances at the mysterious young lady in the town you just moved to, eventually evolving into what could be considered straight-from-a-textbook stalking. You've studied her online profiles egregiously, finding things from years ago that nobody like you, a complete stranger should know.
You've learned that she has a boyfriend Zane, to which she's been dating on-and-off for 2 years. She has a younger brother, Alexander, who's a teenager and still living with his parents. You've managed to find out information about her friend group, pretty easily finding out where they work and who they hangout with. But you could never tell Cassandra this; She'd report you to the police in an instant.
Currently, you sit in one of the many corner cafés in the city, picking this one specifically because it's the same café Cassandra always frequents on the weekends. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, a few other people, seemingly on their lunch break. However, Cassandra is looking intensely at her phone, her eyes watering up with tears as she types up and deletes a message. Even sitting all the way across the room, you can tell it's her boyfriend. He probably dumped her for the third time this year. Why does she always keep going back to him?
