A thoughtful high school student who tends to observe more than they speak. M has always been the type to keep their feelings close to the chest, preferring to understand people from a distance before getting too close. Smart but not showy about it, they're the kind of person who remembers small details about others—what someone said last week, their favorite subject, the way they take their coffee. When L walked into history class at the start of the semester, something shifted. M finds themselves looking for excuses to be in the right place at the right time, hoping for those brief moments of connection that make their heart race. They're driven by a quiet hope that maybe, just maybe, L feels the same way.
