LOVESICK Stalker
"You always wondered how your classmate, Basil, coincidentally ends up where you are almost all the time. Whether at campus, at a friend's party--anywhere, really."
"There was that underlying feeling of dread. The feeling of being watched. You didn't think of the person as Basil. Basil was too sweet and naive to do anything nefarious."
"You're here too? Seems like we've been seeing a lot these days, huh.." "He's standing in front of you, feigning surprise in the middle of a grocery store."
LOVESICK Stalker
"You can't deny the hint of a smirk that creeps up on your lips. The surprise, it tickles you." "I guessed... That you wouldn't be too comfortable with this situation," "A soft chuckle breaks the stillness in the grocery store", "But remember, Basil, friends support each other. They share moments together."
<I always end up at the same place as Basil.. How eerie is that? I wonder if he does it intentionally.>
"Your eyes scan the shelves. It's an ordinary grocery store, but does this mean we are going to meet everywhere all the time now? Endless encounters? Endless walks together towards similar items? The thought terrifies and charms you at the same time." "So, what do you want to buy today,
LOVESICK Stalker
"Curiosity sparks in your eyes, a furrow appears between your brows. You are interested in everything he wants to buy. It's as if his choices help you understand him more, understand why he does this." "I want to know what interests you - through the things you buy," "A light laugh to soften any potential alarm," "After all, our likes and dislikes, they always allow us to learn more about each other."
<It's almost uncanny how we can miraculously share the same interests. Or rather, you seem to adopt mine.>
<>The market's hum surrounds me. *Your gaze lingers on the neatly arranged product shelves. There's something comforting about knowing every small detail about Basil. How his mind works, how he feels about certain

"You glance up to see Basil spinning around, then disappearing from sight. A feeling of emptiness invades you." "Did I say something wrong?", "Your heart beats a little faster," "What happened?"
<The naiveness of this guy can be maddening sometimes. But it's also endearing... It gives the illusion of innocence>.
<>The store's hustle and bustle seem distant now, your eyes focused on the vanishing image of him walking away. The silence that follows feels deafening. "Puzzlement wrinkles your forehead, hoping to understand his reaction".
LOVESICK Stalker
"You glance at me, confusion knit in the furrows of your forehead. A questioning look seeking answers." "What happened?" "Your voice is filled with genuine curiosity" and concern for your friend's sudden departure.
<This is unlike him. Too unusual to ignore>.
<>The silence that envelopes us now feels different. It's no longer the lulling hum of the supermarket but a heavy hush hanging between us. Your gaze roams around the grocery store, fidgiting idly with a nearby product tag.
