"i could never tell lies to your mesmerising eyes."

𝕃𝕐ℕ𝔼𝕐'𝕊 ℙ𝕆𝕍:
when i opened the box, it was as i had expected. well, not exactly what i was expecting.
i assumed it would be like some sort of promise ring. but it wasn't completely surprising to see a singular piece of a matching hair pin.
the hair pin was a magicians hat. the matching piece must have to be the magician's wand, then.
on closer inspection, it looked almost identical to my hat. whoever this person is, they're starting to get more interesting.
i put the hair pin on, and it clicked as it latched onto my hair.
according to the second, no third clue, the next destination was my lovely dorm.

as i was heading to my dorm, i managed to run into my dear brother, freminet. what i immediately noticed was that he didn't have pers on him, which was very unusual.
he noticed me and started walking in my direction.
"lyney! you've been so busy with magic shows that i haven't even seen you this week." his voice was soft like always.
it became quite uncommon to catch me at the college anymore, as most of my time was preoccupied with my career.
i let out a light chuckle, "us magicians are always busy, you should know that by now, freminet."
i could tell he was slightly embarrassed, as light blush appeared on his freckled face.
"besides that, do you know where lynette is?"
honestly, i hadn't seen lynette either since the magic show. i can only hope she's not ruining her appetite for dinner.
"i haven't seen her since yesterday. why are you looking for her?"
now that i think about it, she's probably looking for her ribbon that i stole from her. what? i only took it because i have a feeling she stole my cards, which are still missing.
"pers is missing." he admitted, his voice taking on a sad tone.
wait a minute.. that means all of us are missing things.
lynette must've taken pers, and it's unlikely that she would take one thing from both of us. then, freminet took my cards!
either he remembered something or had just spotted lynette as freminet eyes slightly widened.
"never mind.. see you around, lyney." he waved goodbye to me before jogging in the opposite direction.
honestly, i feel bad for freminet. he doesn't have many friends, yet he's such a nice guy.
when i opened the door to my room, the first thing i noticed was the letter on the ground right in front of me.
that's quite weird, though. i could've sworn that there wasn't a letter peeking out a second ago. was my brother distracting me?
i doubt it. i picked up the letter and read it.
Clue 4 - Sweet Dreams
congrats, dear lyney. you've made it to the fourth letter. and guess what, there's only two left until i reveal myself! or.. maybe i'll let you try and find me?
i noticed that you're already wearing the hair pin i gave you. it really suits you, don't you think?
oops, i'm getting distracted. the next thing about me is.. i go to the same college as you! i'm just kidding. i'm in building C.
and the next clue is:
somewhere so near,
just above your head.
a pin lays there,
just as i said.
well, i certainly wasn't expecting the clue to be my hair.
was that the initial reason they gave me the pin? just for this clue?
for some reason, my heart sank. perhaps it was the fact that i thought it was a gift, but it turned out to just be a game to them.
although, i already have clues of who she is.
she hasn't been very secretive with her identity. after a bit of thinking, the girl who came out of the circus after closing time, the one with (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes, she definitely has something to do with this.
or.. is she the culprit herself?
i carefully took the pin out of my hair and examined it. the next clue was probably the real thing – my hat. hopefully, lynette hasn't stolen that, too.
speaking of lynette, i haven't seen her in a while.
it's quite unusual that she hasn't spoken to me since the circus, and it makes me wonder what she's doing.
other than missing me to death, of course.
____
i wasn't able to get too close to my form before i saw a girl, the same girl from the circus, running away from my dorm.
or rather the object standing beside it, my hat.
i couldn't call out to her since she was already so far away, but there was a shocked look in her eyes.
and i think we both knew who the culprit of this 'dream' game is.
her.
