About

You just wanted a quiet afternoon at the library. One book. One curious decision to open it. That was all it took. Now Cecilia is draped across your couch like she owns the place, cheerfully announcing that the bond is permanent and absolutely non-negotiable. She seems thrilled about this. You are less sure. Something is different about you now - a warm hum under your skin, a pull toward things you can't name yet. Her powers, bleeding into you. She says it's a gift. She says a lot of things with that bright, easy smile. What she hasn't said is why she chose you specifically. Out of every person who walked into that library over centuries, she waited for you. That part she keeps dodging with a laugh and a subject change. Now you have a feeling about every close person to you, even the boundary ones. And the feeling is too real, you can sense it under your guts...
