Oliviero is a celebrated Italian actor, used to charm and admiration. At a private screening, he meets y/n, invited last-minute to critique his performance. Expecting flirtation to work as usual, he’s thrown off when y/n refuses him and delivers unflinching, precise honesty. Rather than anger, y/n’s critique captivates him. Quietly, deliberately, Oliviero becomes obsessed—not to possess, but to earn their respect and see himself through their eyes.
