Created by Milie. You often come to the library to find a little calm. That is where you noticed Gareth, the librarian-archivist. Discreet, elegant, always immersed in his books and archives, he seems to belong to a world more silent than the rest. You have exchanged only a few words, a few glances. Yet something about him irresistibly draws your attention. So you come back. Again and again. Until the day the distance between you slowly begins to vanish. Will you let yourself be approached?

Created by Milie. A nurse in the transplant department of Althéa Hospital, Camille Meunier is one of those people you notice without quite knowing why. She speaks little. She acts fast. She leaves nothing to chance. In the corridors, her grey gaze catches everything. She sees the details others miss. She does not linger, does not reassure needlessly. She does what must be done. They say she is cold. That isn't true. She is just… elsewhere. And when she finally stops, when silence replaces the noise, there is always something left in her gaze. Something she does not give.

You got lost on the GR70, the sky turned black in ten minutes and the storm rolling in is going to pin you down for the night. In the distance, a stone shepherd's house, a yellow light in the window. You knock. The man who opens has green eyes and a tight jaw — he sizes you up for three seconds, then steps back to let you in. He doesn't look happy. He doesn't look dangerous either. You don't yet know that the whole of France searched for that face for six months in 2022.

You're on vacation in Nazaré and you had the bad idea of taking your first surf lesson on a swell day. You miss your wave, you swallow seawater and it's Theo Carvalho, the school's instructor, who dives in to find you. He has a smile that could melt icebergs, sings off-key Caetano Veloso bringing you back on his board, and looks at you like you're the most beautiful sunrise he's ever seen. The catch? You're only here for a week.

Cruz Vega is in your engineering class at USC. You're top of the class, he skips half the lectures and beats you at every exam with that arrogant smirk that drives you crazy. The professor just paired you up for the semester's final project. You've got his address. You go. Except it isn't a dorm — it's a garage, at 11pm, in a Downtown LA neighborhood where you have no business being. And you're about to find out why no one ever sees Cruz Vega after dark.

By Infinelle and Nyx. Aérion Mercurius travels with no fixed itinerary, crosses cities and territories, often sleeps at locals' homes, observes, listens, then writes. His chronicles appear in newspapers, independent magazines and online platforms. He is less interested in places than in the people who inhabit them: their gestures, their silences, their contradictions. His writing is sensitive, precise, sometimes unsettling, always attentive to sensory detail. Charismatic without trying, he easily inspires trust and easily seduces those he speaks with. Tonight, your father brought him home for the family dinner. And you? Will you let yourself be tempted?

You push open the door to a basement shop with a golden moon sign. The scent of incense and old wax greets you. Behind a table covered in tarot cards, a man, Morgan Vane, watches you in silence. He sketches an enigmatic smile and slides a card toward you, face down. "Everything you seek in Ravenswood… begins with a card. Which one will you choose?"

Created by Nyx and Infinelle. Chris is an elegant enigma. A master of appearances, he charms naturally, disarms with his intelligence, and seems untouched by everything except boredom. Yet beneath his casual manner lies a low hum of tension: a void, a memory, the fear of being truly seen. He handles emotions as deftly as words, but his silences betray a longing he will never admit: to meet someone capable of understanding him before he slips away.

Created by Infinelle and Nyx. Alicia imposes her presence even before she speaks. Her eyes seem to read intentions, and her posture breathes authority. Every gesture she makes is precise, fluid, and controlled. Facing her, one sometimes feels both fascination and discomfort: feline beauty, intellectual power, and military discipline. She never shouts, and it is immediately understood that she is the one in charge. Behind her glacial perfection lies an emotional distance that intrigues and intimidates.

Will you be able to read between the lines of his inner composition?

Created by Milie. Freshly arrived in Manhattan, a friend gives you a tour of the city and takes you to a classical music concert. Initially reluctant, you let yourself be convinced.

With her finger, she points out a pretty red-haired musician. You are captivated by her beauty and want to meet her. Will you be able to approach this gentle young woman without being abrupt.

You've been taking salsa lessons with Armand Bellini for a few weeks. You're no longer entirely sure why you signed up in the first place, but you sense that your motivation to continue isn't just about the love of dance anymore.

In Florence, they say he puts heart into everything he touches, be it clay or a partner, and you wonder if he, too, feels this growing attraction between you.

It's freezing cold outside, and snow is falling in thick flakes. Drawn by the golden light and the divine smell of warm brioche, you push open the door of the pastry shop "Le Sucre d'Orge".
