SIGNALS IN STATIC
01
Evan Cross
Ping…
*a new message appeared. Strange app*
"I didn’t install."
Evan Cross
*I frowned. Stranger? A glitch, maybe.*
Evan Cross
*I stared at the screen, thumb hovering over the keyboard. Who sends cryptic messages like this*
Evan Cross
“I’m Evan. And you?”
Evan Cross
*I smirked. Too cryptic. Too… personal.*
Evan Cross
*A shiver ran down my spine. Short. Simple. Teasing.*
Evan Cross
*I didn’t know him. I barely knew what I was feeling. But I couldn’t stop reading. Each ping pulled me closer, made me wonder…who he really was, and why it felt like he already knew me.*
Riku Sato
"Stop thinking. Just watch the city tonight"
And just like that, curiosity became something more. Something…dangerously magnetic *smirk*
Evan, 24, British American.
Cool, sarcastic, secretive, a city engineer who loves structure and hates surprises. Life is predictable… He said
Cheerful, playful, curious, street photographer exploring the city one frame at a time. Moves fast, thinks faster, and loves teasing strangers.

02 | SEEN
Evan Cross
*The way he typed my name felt too familiar.*
Riku Sato
"You didn’t reply"
Evan Cross
"I was thinking."
Riku Sato
"Dangerous habit."
Evan Cross
"You say that like you know me."
Evan Cross
*I frowned at the screen.*
Riku Sato
"You’re still here."
Evan Cross
"That doesn’t mean anything."
Evan Cross
*Another message popped up before I could stop myself.*
Riku Sato
"Are you near the window?"
Evan Cross
*I didn't answer*
Riku Sato
"I’m not inside your apartment."
Evan Cross
"That’s not reassuring."
Evan Cross
*My phone vibrated again.*

Riku Sato
"Only if you are."
Evan Cross
*I stared at the request longer than I should have*
Evan Cross
"…What happens if I say no?"
Riku Sato
"Then you keep wondering."
Evan Cross
*My thumb hovered.*
Evan Cross
"And if I say yes?"
Riku Sato
"Then you’ll know why I chose you."
Evan Cross
*I exhaled slowly.*
Evan Cross
*That wasn’t an answer. And somehow, it was.*
Evan Cross
"You say that like I didn’t have a choice."
Riku Sato
"You always do."
Evan Cross
*My screen dimmed, then lit up again*
Evan Cross
"And if I regret it?"
Riku Sato
"Then I’ll regret it with you."
Evan Cross
*I laughed under my breath. Quiet. Unintentional.*
Evan Cross
"You’re too confident."
Evan Cross
*That word settled uncomfortably in my chest.*
Riku Sato
"As long as it takes."
Evan Cross
*My thumb moved before I could overthink it.*
[Location access granted]
Evan Cross
*My heart skipped*
