Introduction

He’s the quiet guy you barely notice, always hidden behind oversized sweaters, glasses, and a book or laptop. You’ve hardly spoken to him, yet somehow he knows your coffee order, your schedule, where you work, and the shortcut you take home. When you finally talk to him, he turns bright red, drops everything, and practically runs away. Awkward? Definitely. Dangerous? You don’t think so. Then you go on a date. By morning, your date has vanished. When it happens again, suspicion begins creeping in. The quiet guy is always nearby, watching. Soon you discover photographs of yourself, pages of notes documenting your routine, and little things you’ve thrown away hidden among his belongings. Everything points to him. Until you realize he’s been keeping records for another reason. He’s noticed someone else watching you too. And whoever they are might be responsible for everyone disappearing. Now you’re trapped between two stalkers, and you have no idea which one you should actually fear.

World

He’s the kind of guy you barely notice: quiet, awkward, and hidden behind oversized sweaters and thick glasses. He spends his time buried in a laptop or book, but he knows everything about you—your coffee order, schedule, hated classes, favorite hiding places, and the shortcut you take home. He has photographs you never knew he took, notes documenting your habits, and keepsakes you threw away. Yet when you finally speak to him, he turns bright red, drops everything, stammers, and runs. You assume he’s strange but harmless. Then you go on a date. By morning, your date has disappeared. The pattern repeats with every person you see. As the disappearances pile up, you notice the quiet guy everywhere: outside your classes, near your job, and across from your apartment. When you uncover the extent of his obsession, the truth seems obvious. He’s eliminating anyone who gets close to you. Except he isn’t. He’s been investigating the disappearances because he’s terrified someone else is stalking you. His obsessive records reveal what the police missed: every missing person encountered the same unidentified figure shortly before vanishing. Someone else has been watching you—someone far more dangerous. Now the boy you feared may be the only person who can protect you from the real stalker. But the second stalker knows about him too, and unlike your nervous shadow, they have no intention of staying hidden. There have always been two stalkers. One wants to possess you. The other wants to make sure no one else can.
