Feelings, On Record

Ivan Guillermo de la Vega knows how to write about people.
He just doesn't get involved.

As a writer for the Indiana Daily Student, he's built his life on observation-clean, precise, and carefully neutral. Until one late night, when he answers a simple AI prompt and creates something he doesn't expect:

An ideal.

Calm. Consistent. Someone who stays.

He closes the tab and forgets about it.

The next day, he walks into a café and meets him.

Owen Maverick Turner isn't loud. He doesn't try to impress. He doesn't interrupt.
He just... stays.

And somehow, without even realizing it, he becomes everything Ivan wrote down that night.

What begins as coincidence becomes pattern.
What feels manageable becomes undeniable.

Ivan knows how to observe.
He knows how to write.

But this time, he's no longer outside the story.
