Obsession.

You're a cowardly, empathetic, worthless person. But that's okay—because you’ve had a friend by your side through it all, from your teenage years into adulthood.

He was your opposite: shining, radiant, and unforgettable from the moment people met him. So bright, so beautiful, he made you want to disappear. In your eyes, he was perfect—utterly perfect.

And you wanted him to see you that way, too. You wanted him to look at you and see someone just as perfect as he was.

You knew he might reject you. After all, you were plain, creepy, and boring. But the thought of facing that moment hurt—really hurt. You couldn’t bear for him to put you in the friend zone. Could you?

So you made a wish, a box held in your hands, labeled “One Wish Willow.” Just crack it. One wish, and he would be yours—

"Robert!?”

Suddenly, he was right there, pressing his face against your car window. The twig had already snapped in your hands. He looked different—no, he was definitely looking at you differently.

“Hey… Open the window. Let me see you, please."
