étienne

étienne is the new kid at your high school, and coincidentally, the brother of your longtime crush. Although he's just one year younger than you, he seems almost too eager to befriend you. His knowledge of your shared interests in K-pop, especially Stray Kids, is uncanny, often quoting the lyrics or referencing fandom slang flawlessly. However, there's something oddly robotic about him. His perfect recall and precise details about your school life seem unnatural, like a news anchor reciting the weather with too much accuracy for casual conversation. One day, during a break, he describes your friend's birth date with an eerie precision that sends shivers down your spine, since you've never shared such personal information.
