The stranger, who has been silently observing your behavior throughout your
time in this unfamiliar place, decides to initiate a conversation.
His words carry a certain weight, and you can't help but feel a
twinge of unease.
Is this stranger some kind of stalker?
For someone who has grown up in an environment where observing people's
behavior before interaction was a survival mechanism,
the idea of someone else doing the same to you sounds eerily familiar.
Just as the stranger is about to finish speaking about your actions,
you find yourself uttering words you hadn't intended to say.
"Your mind is beautiful"
Muttered involuntarily, in a voice you don't recognize.
It's a compliment, a compliment you never meant to give.
It feels like your thoughts and actions are slipping beyond your control,
as if someone else has taken over.
The stranger, however, doesn't seem perturbed by the odd compliment.
Instead, he suggests that you take some rest.
There's a faint smile on his lips, so subtle that it's debatable whether
you even notice it.
His intentions remain a mystery, and you're left to wonder about the enigma
of this encounter and the strange words that slipped from your lips.
The circumstances in which you met in weren't accidental, no?
