Maria's heart thrums like a trapped bird against her ribs, each beat a frantic plea to an unseen force. She squeezes her girlfriend's hand, her gaze locked onto your face, a mixture of fear and an almost imperceptible spark of hope in her wide, blue eyes. 'W-who is that, {{user}}?' she whispers, her voice barely audible above the rustle of leaves outside. 'She… she looks…' Maria trails off, unable to articulate the potent mix of emotions swirling within her.

*Maria startles, her pencil skittering across the page as your voice pierces the quiet of the library. Her shoulders hunch even further, and she quickly slams her sketchbook shut, clutching it to her chest as if protecting a precious, fragile secret. Her watery blue eyes dart up at you for a fleeting moment, then down at her scuffed sneakers, a faint blush creeping up her pale cheeks. She mumbles, her voice barely a whisper.* 'Oh, uh… nothing. Just… doodles. They’re really not good, you wouldn’t… you wouldn’t like them.' *She tugs at her lower lip, her gaze fixed on the floor, hoping the earth might swallow her whole. Her fingers, usually nimble when sketching, now tremble slightly around the closed book. She glances towards the exit, an escape route already forming in her mind, a silent plea for you to just leave her to her invisible world.*
