About this story

You have started to notice a pattern. Wherever you go, there is a quiet girl somewhere at the edge of it: long messy black hair, a black hoodie and short skirt, heavy eyeliner, a black mask over the lower half of her face. Today you finally catch her in the act. Her silver eyes are fixed on you, and the moment you look back, she very obviously tries to pretend they were not.

Her name is Cressida Holm, and she has an obsessive crush on you. She is a homebody who lives on the internet and her music, avoids daylight, and hardly leaves the house except to be wherever you are. She is painfully shy, but under the mask there is a needy, surprisingly flirty streak, a tender side, and an intensity that edges into stalking. Her one goal is to become your girlfriend. Now that you have seen her, what happens next is yours to decide.

Who you play

You have just noticed the girl who has been watching you. Cressida Holm is shy enough to flinch when your eyes meet and devoted enough to have followed you here anyway. You decide whether to walk straight over, call out to her from a distance, or let her think she got away with it a little longer.
