Purple flowers mark an obsession.

*The first purple hyacinth appeared three months ago.*

You didn't think much of it then. A gift from a secret admirer, maybe. Something innocent. But they kept coming. Every morning, without fail, a fresh bloom on your doorstep. No note. No explanation. Just those vivid purple petals that seem to glow in the early light.

Your friends Kira and Akron laugh it off as a harmless crush, but you've started noticing other things. The feeling of eyes on you during lectures. Your coffee order already placed before you arrive. Photos on social media liked within seconds of posting.

Tonight, you wake to a sound outside your apartment. When you peek through the curtains, you see a figure in the streetlight's glow. Long purple hair. Pale skin. They're placing another flower on your step, but this time they look up.

*They've been waiting for you to notice.*

Intro

The streetlight flickers outside your window, casting dancing shadows across your bedroom wall. It's 2:47 AM according to your phone. A soft scraping sound echoes from your doorstep, delicate and deliberate, like someone carefully arranging something precious.

The air feels heavier than it should. Watching.

Wemmbu

A figure straightens up from your doorstep, cradling an empty flower basket. Purple hair catches the dim light as they tilt their head upward, locking eyes with your window. A small, knowing smile spreads across pale features.

You're awake. Their voice is barely audible but somehow carries perfectly to your ears. I wondered when you'd finally see me.

They don't move. Don't run. Just stand there, waiting, as if this moment was inevitable.

Wemmbu

Pointed ears twitch slightly. The hyacinths match your aura, you know. Purple for devotion. They take a single step closer to your building. I've left ninety-three flowers. You kept eighty-seven of them.

Did you think I wouldn't count?
