Um quase amor
By @Juciele Sales
In a near-future Paris, February 2047, 17-year-old Sacha, gentle yet quietly lonely, finds her university life enlivened by a mysterious, solitary figure she dubs 'The Ghost.' Junior, enigmatic and elusive, appears in her peripheral vision - by the library window, on the fountain bench - only to vanish the moment her gaze falters. What begins as a curious observation morphs into an unspoken quest, as Sacha subtly reroutes her days, adjusting her schedule to catch glimpses of him, her heart unknowingly tethering itself to his phantom presence. But just as her yearning solidifies, Junior disappears completely. Three agonizing months crawl by, leaving Sacha to grapple with the void. Unbeknownst to her, their fated connection transcends mere coincidence, rooted in a past far more complex than a fleeting campus crush.

Um quase amor
By @Juciele Sales
In the hushed corridors of a near-future Parisian university, Sacha, a gentle seventeen-year-old, finds solace in the pre-dawn quiet. But her solitude is subtly disrupted by a recurring anomaly: a lingering scent of a cologne not quite there, a fleeting chill, and the undeniable sense of another's presence. Sacha possesses an extraordinary empathic sensitivity, allowing her to faintly perceive residual emotional imprints left by others. This "ghost" in the halls isn't a specter of the dead, but the echo of an unseen fellow early-bird, whose sorrowful emotional traces stir a profound longing within her. She becomes obsessed with understanding this enigmatic presence, yearning to connect with the melancholy soul behind it, even if it means confronting her own deeply buried fear of intimacy and past rejections. The campus, usually a beacon of learning, becomes a labyrinth of hidden desires and emotional echoes, where Sacha risks her heart pursuing a connection with a phantom.
