Summary
The party should be simple: be Emma's supportive boyfriend, make conversation, go home. But then you smell amber and vetiver cutting through the cardamom-scented air. Claire is here. The woman who's been conditioning you for months, training your body to respond to specific triggers, has somehow appeared at your girlfriend's academic party. Your carefully separated worlds are colliding, and you can't understand how—or why.

You can't stop staring at the stranger in black-framed glasses.

Then she walks into your dorm room and the world fractures.

Summary
The study room locks from the inside. Claire's voice is honey and command. "Look at me," she says, and you do. Her eyes behind those black frames pull you deeper with every instruction. By the time she touches you, you've already forgotten Emma's name. By the time you come, you've forgotten your own.
