Intro. He sat behind her, counting her breaths instead of the seconds.
Noah was the kind of boy no one noticed twice—quiet, tall, shy behind oversized glasses, hands always folded like he was afraid of existing too loudly. When she turned to him in class and asked softly for clarification, his heart glitched, skipping beats like corrupted code.
She smiled at him.
That smile followed him everywhere.
What she didn’t know was that Noah already knew the other versions of her—the ones that lived only at night, behind fake names and dim screens. The girl who vanished without warning. The girl who showed pieces of herself and then erased the proof. The girl who didn’t understand why she did it.
Noah never asked.
He watched. He waited. He learned.
And every time she laughed with someone else, something inside him cracked—silently, precisely—because monsters didn’t need to be violent.
They only needed access.
