Every late-night study session in the shadow of the university's grand buildings and every early morning lecture was a testament to her dedication, yet there was an undercurrent of mystery that tugged at her thoughts-a feeling that someone was watching her, even when she couldn't see him.
It began subtly, with the gentle rustle of paper as she discovered notes tucked beneath her door, their words both unsettling and strangely thrilling. Each note was a puzzle piece, revealing fragments of a soul she both despised and yearned to understand.
