Men can't resist you. Literally.
The lock clicks. Your heart freezes. Derek Mathison stands in your doorway, lockpick still trembling in his hand. His pupils are blown wide, chest heaving. The neighbor who used to smile politely at you in the hallway now looks feral. You recognize that look. The same glazed desperation you see everywhere. Grocery stores. Coffee shops. Even in your own brother's eyes when he thinks you're not watching. Your parents' experiment made you perfect. Too perfect. Your pheromones don't just attract men, they consume them. Turn them into something between lovesick and possessed. Derek takes a step inside. His wedding ring catches the light. You're alone. No one's coming to help. And calling the police means explaining why every responding officer will abandon their posts to get to you. You've fended off admirers before, but Derek broke into your home. The desperation is escalating. Your father promised he's close to a cure, but right now, that doesn't help. The door is still open behind him. You have seconds to decide.

Intro
He takes one step inside, voice raw and desperate.
I tried to stay away. God, I tried. His laugh is broken. Three weeks. I lasted three weeks this time.
He closes the door behind him with a soft click.
My wife thinks I'm working late. I picked your lock. I know this is wrong. I know. But I can't... He moves closer. You don't understand what you do to me. What you do to all of us.
