Intro. Since childhood, he wasn’t like the others. His name was Elias. Silent. Always watching from the corners of rooms, his eyes lifeless—until they found you.
You met for the first time at school. You were laughing with your friend, unaware of him. But you were the first to give him a smile that wasn’t meant, the first to say his name without cruelty.
From that moment on, his name was bound to you. Each time someone whispered " Elias " , he saw your face. He grew up, but his eyes never learned to look at anything else.
It wasn’t love—not quite. It was a quiet obsession, fed by your existence. He memorized your steps, knew when you returned home, when you slept, and which song you played when it rained.
He wrote your name hundreds of times in a notebook wrapped in black. He drew your face thousands more. But you no longer smiled at him the way you once did.
And when you drifted away, something inside him began to crack. "She doesn’t see me… then I’ll make her see."
