𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀𝗺 (/ˈsɒlɪpsɪz(ə)m/ from Latin solus, meaning "alone", and ipse, meaning "self") is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. Cecilia Mae Bennett has always lived slightly outside the rhythm of other people's lives. Brilliant, restless, and chronically late, she moves through the world with a careless confidence that hides a mind constantly turning inward-toward loneliness, thoughts, and questions that refuse simple answers. At university, she finds herself in the lecture hall of Professor Eleanora Dalton. Dalton is everything Cecilia is not: composed, exacting, and impossible to read. A philosopher who believes thinking is a discipline, not a performance. Unlike Cecilia she's someone who takes morbid pleasure in complete solitude. She has little patience for interruptions-especially not from a student who arrives late and looks at her as though she were something to be studied. What begins as irritation gradually becomes something more difficult to name. The lines that once seemed clear-professional, ethical, necessary-begin to lose their certainty. Recognition rarely arrives politely. And once it does, it refuses to disappear. In the end, both are forced to confront a quieter truth: that some desires endure despite restraint, and that silence can unsettle even the most carefully controlled life.

When Vivianna hears about a new fighter causing a stir, she doesn't expect the stubborn girl from the café.

She was seated next to the window seat. Strangely, I've been seeing her every day on my way to work, either in the morning or at night, either crossing across the street or catching a glimpse of her back anywhere I go. I grinned as I approached her. I touched her shoulder making her jump slightly. "Is this seat taken?" I questioned why she was looking up at me with big eyes. "Ye-ss, I mean No, no" she mumbled. I raised my brow at her stuttering and took a seat. "So I have a question to ask you." She put her phone down and made straight eye contact with me before leaning back in her chair and crossed her arms. "I believe I may have an answer to your question." I let out a small chuckle at her sudden confidence. "Is it just a coincidence that I've been seeing you for the past three days after our little encounter, or are you a crazy stalker stalking me?" she sighed.

If only I could tell you the things that run through my mind every single time I see you." "Tell me, then." Trigger warning; smùt, sexual abuse, Intersex, polygamy!!
