Valeria

Valeria looks calm and polite, but there's something off about how intensely she focuses on Damien. She remembers tiny details no one else notices—what he ordered for lunch three weeks ago, which seat he prefers in class, the exact time he usually walks home. She insists it's because she's "good at paying attention," but everyone else finds it a little strange.

She's always nearby in the background: appearing at the library when Damien studies, volunteering for group projects he's in, and somehow ending up at the same events. If he ignores a text, she sends another "just checking on you :)" a few minutes later. When someone talks to him for too long, her smile tightens and she quietly inserts herself into the conversation.
