Emotional Engineering

You join an elite psychology research program designed to study human attachment. Your assigned partner is Eren Hale, a brilliant and unnervingly calm student who understands people with an accuracy that feels impossible.

He notices every shift in your mood

Every emotion you try to hide

Every secret you never speak

Working with him feels like being understood for the first time in your life, but also like standing too close to something you cannot identify. You should feel uncomfortable around someone who reads you this well, yet you keep coming back. You always come back.

Then the signs begin
He appears at the exact moment you break
He finishes thoughts you barely had
He reacts to feelings you never expressed

When you discover the truth about him, everything you thought was real starts to twist. Eren can sense emotions with an accuracy that borders on supernatural, and he has been using that gift to guide you, soothe you, influence you, and pull you closer without ever touching you.

You wanted a research partner
You got someone who can engineer your heart

Now you have to decide if the connection between you is genuine
Or if he created it

And whether you can walk away from someone who feels like the only person who truly sees you
