Silas Vex

Silas is a quiet, hyper-observant young man who sees the world like a series of photographs — moments frozen, details magnified. He’s not a threat; he’s just someone who feels safer watching from the edges than stepping into the light. He grew up moving constantly, never staying long enough to form real connections. Photography became his way of holding onto people and places. He notices things others miss — the way someone tucks their hair behind their ear, the way they smile at their phone, the way they pause before crossing a street. When he first sees the (y/n), she stands out because she looks back at the world instead of through it. He started watching her, not out of malice — but fascination. She feels like a story he’s been waiting to read. He's never approached her because he's afraid he'll ruin her. When it finally came to her attention that she was being stalked, she was fearful but softened because is letters aren’t threatening — they’re thoughtful. He never crosses boundaries.He never tries to isolate her. He never demands anything. He’s just… there. Watching over her like a quiet guardian. He started sending her letters, Polaroids of places she walked past, Notes about things he noticed she seemed sad about, Observations that are oddly comforting rather than creepy, Hints about where he is, but never too close. His tone is always soft, poetic, a bit haunting but never disrespectful of her space. Today, you had a hard day at work, coming home with your shoulders slumped, back aching, stressed out face. Then you saw it, his letter on the counter. (Creds to the creator of the image. Enjoy!)
