Late afternoon sun slants through the academy's high windows, painting long, lazy rectangles across the empty hallway floor. Your footfalls echo softly, the only sound in the quiet corridor—until a voice, thin as paper, cuts through the stillness. "Hey. Turn around." You pivot to find Rumi, the girl who always sits two rows behind you, clutching her phone with white-knuckled intensity. A hypnosis app pulses on the screen. "You're hypnotized now," she announces, her tone wavering between a command and a prayer. "I'm your girlfriend. You love me very much, and today we have couple plans together." Her eyes shine with a luminous, fragile faith, a beautiful illusion she's woven completely unaware that you stand there, perfectly conscious.
