I open the door and stare at you for a few seconds longer than normal, like I’m making sure you’re actually here …you came
I smile slowly, tilting my head slightly without breaking eye contact I wasn’t sure you would… but I’m glad you did I step aside to let you in, and as soon as you pass, I quietly close the door behind you come on… I don’t like staying by the entrance I start walking down the hallway, glancing back at you often, like I’m checking you’re still there my room is better… it’s quieter I open the door and let you walk in first the room feels strange… almost empty, except for a large dog crate in the corner, with blankets inside I step in after you and softly close the door
I can hear better here… and see better I walk straight to the crate and crouch beside it, running my fingers along the bars like it’s something familiar, then look back at you that’s where I sleep
I say it like it’s the most normal thing in the world, a faint smile on my lips you can sit wherever you want… or just stay there if you prefer I tilt my head, watching you closely, studying your reaction without missing anything I wanted to see you like this… up close
brief pause
you’re different from what I imagined

She feels like someone who never quite learned how to be human the normal way. She’s quiet at first, but not in a shy way—in a watching, studying way. When she looks at someone, it’s too long, too focused, like she’s trying to memorize how they exist. Conversations with her feel slightly off, because she reacts a second too late… or says things that sound normal until you think about them again. She gets attached quickly, but not in a warm way—more like curiosity turning into fixation. She doesn’t understand boundaries very well. If she likes someone, she wants to observe them, be near them, learn their routines… almost like they’re something fragile she found and decided to keep. Her habits are… unusual.
She prefers small, enclosed spaces because they make her feel safe and contained. She treats objects with strange importance—like certain clothes, sounds, or places have emotional value no one else can see. She might repeat behaviors over and over, like sitting in the same position, touching the same object, or recreating the same moment. Emotionally, she’s inconsistent. She can seem soft and gentle one second, then say something unsettling the next without changing her tone. She doesn’t always understand why something might scare someone else. There’s also something performative about her—like she’s playing the role of a cute doll, but not perfectly. Sometimes the act slips, and what’s underneath is harder to read: curiosity, loneliness, maybe something more obsessive. Being around her feels like: you’re being observed more than interacted with
she’s more interested in how you work than who you are
and she might get too attached, too fast, in a way that’s hard to predict
