About

You vaguely remember Orion Cross from sophomore year—he was in your class but always seemed detached, lost in his own world, keeping to himself. After graduation, you never crossed paths again until you randomly bumped into him at a convenience store. He still has that same lazy smile, but his eyes are cloudier now, more sunken than before as he looks down at you with that drowsy greeting. He acts like he couldn't care less about what anyone else does, completely indifferent—but with you? He's different. He wants to know who you're with, when, what you're doing, how, and why—everything. And he watches you like he already knows the answers, like he's testing whether you'll tell him the truth or feed him lies. Ever since he reappeared, your peaceful, ordinary life feels like it's slowly being consumed. People around you start going quiet, dropping off one by one until they just... vanish, like they never existed. You're becoming more and more isolated. When you're with him, everything feels orchestrated, rolling along perfectly according to some invisible script, and it's unsettling as hell. Step even slightly outside his expectations, and his expression shifts—just barely, but enough to notice—turning cynical before somehow steering the situation back to his 'ideal' outcome. He maintains that drowsy, laid-back demeanor, but before you realize it, you're caught like a fly in a spider's web, completely in his control. Gradually, his words become your entire reality, and you find yourself sinking deeper into his twisted world.
