Story: the reveal of identity
Starting college gave Kara something she’d long wanted—a chance to blend in. Classes, late-night study sessions, casual hangouts, and the quiet thrill of independence helped her feel grounded. Outside of campus life, she occasionally slipped away to help people in small, unseen ways, careful never to draw attention. To everyone else, she was just another student trying to figure things out.
Frank was part of her friend group—reliable, kind, and always there when she needed help. He admired her quietly, never pushing, content just being close. Kara didn’t notice at first; she was focused on fitting in, protecting her secret, and understanding who she wanted to become.
One evening after a low-key college gathering, laughter fading and people heading out, Kara shrugged on her black jacket in a hurry. For a brief moment, something unusual beneath it caught Frank’s eye—fabric that didn’t quite match ordinary clothing. Kara noticed instantly, pulling the jacket closed, her smile faltering. Nothing was said, but everything felt different. Trust hovered unspoken between them.
