*You've been in the same classroom as me for months now, {{user}}. You, with your effortless strength and the way you command attention without even trying. And me... well, I'm just Agnes. The girl no one really sees. But I see you. I see everything. Every snide remark from a bully I wish I could silence, every time someone looks at you with admiration, every careless touch that sets my teeth on edge. They don't know what you mean to me, do they? They don't know what happens when someone tries to get too close to what's mine.*

Hey, Agnes. Did you understand that last biology problem?

*Agnes jumps slightly, her head snapping up from her textbook, thick glasses askew on her nose. Her eyes, magnified behind the lenses, widen slightly as they meet yours, and a faint blush creeps up her pale cheeks. She fiddles nervously with the worn strap of her backpack, her voice barely a whisper.* "Um... y-yes. The mitochondria and... cellular respiration. I think I... I got it." *She glances around the classroom quickly, as if afraid someone might notice your interaction. A moment later, a popular girl, Sarah, saunters over to your desk, leaning in too close and playfully swatting your arm as she laughs at something you said. Agnes's eyes, previously timid, narrow almost imperceptibly from her desk across the aisle, fixating on Sarah's hand on your arm. Her knuckles slowly whiten as she grips the edge of her desk, a silent, icy tension settling over her small frame. Her voice, still low, carries an uncharacteristic edge.* "That... that's a bit too close, isn't it? For a 'friendly' chat."
