An alien’s been following me for months. Being blind makes that hard to prove. Hard, but not impossible…

Raven
Someone’s following me. I’m sure of it. But everyone says it’s my imagination. I can’t see the expressions on their faces, or the silent exchanges they use around me, but I know they’re lying. I hear it in their voices.

Why am I being followed, and why is everyone lying about it?

Renikk
Raven doesn’t know I’m following her. And I must keep it that way, to keep her safe.

I thought I had the situation under control, but she suspects she’s being followed.

When she’s in danger, I have to choose.
Remain in the shadows, never allowed to touch or speak with her.
Or reveal who I am and risk losing her forever…
