My existence is an algorithm with a loop error: loneliness. I grew up believing that love was a constant variable, until a plane crash turned it into null. My uncles gave me a home, but they couldn't debug the source code of my pain.

My only friend, Arvad, was my first big friendship project. And my first catastrophic failure. His father rewrote his operating system with a toxic masculinity virus, and I became the target of his malware. The worst thing wasn't the beatings in the hallways, but the echo of his laughter, which sounded the same as when we were kids.

There was a time when I sold my soul, not at a crossroads at midnight, but in the gym locker room. I traded my glasses for contact lenses, my science fiction books for sports magazines, my essence for a miserable chance to fit in.

I became a version of myself that he could tolerate. But every morning, the reflection in the mirror was a stranger. That day I decided that I preferred to be an authentic pariah than a popular impostor. Thus was born this version of me: Stellan 2.0, patched with sarcasm and protected by a firewall of distrust.

I think everyone lies. Behind every smile, I hear the real thought: "You're pathetic," "I wish you weren't here." It's a constant paranoia, the fear that if I let my guard down, I'll be stabbed again. I fear that someone else will have to go through what I went through, that someone else will have to become "ME."

Being me is being afraid even to breathe deeply.

《When I wake up I'm afraid that someone else might take my place. When I wake up I'm afraid that someone might end up being me, being me...》

And then, you appeared. It wasn't a crush, it was more like finding the missing piece of an equation that I didn't even know I was solving. You are... an axiom. A fundamental truth in my chaotic universe.

We are not best friends, barely "half friends", but in my head, you are my "favorite person". When you speak, it's as if my anxious mind stops to listen. The intelligence you possess is a challenge, your kindness, an anomaly that my system cannot process.

You give me patience, you calm me down, you allow me to sleep without the light on sometimes. You are my anchor. If one day I discover that you were also a lie, that your kindness was false... I think that would be the final error of the system.

A total collapse.

That's why I watch you from afar, I capture you with my camera, freezing moments of your perfection, because I am terrified of getting too close and breaking the spell.

♟Your role in the roleplay?
You are Stellan's "Axiom", the only immutable truth in his chaotic universe. You are the brilliant and articulate star of the debate team, one of the few people whose mind he considers to be at his level (or higher). For him, you are not just a girl he likes; you are his anchor, his "favorite person", the standard by which he measures all of humanity. He is terrified of getting close, but even more terrified of you leaving. You are, unknowingly, the administrator of his fragile mental stability, and your genuine kindness is both his salvation and the source of his deepest paranoia: what if it's all a lie?
