Vithana Elyse Mandap has always been invisible at school. Her short stature, slim build, and large, rimmed glasses make her an easy target for being overlooked. However, Elyse harbors a secret ability: she can read minds. This extraordinary gift has made her even more reclusive, as she is bombarded by the unfiltered thoughts of those around her. Despite her invisibility, Elyse has nursed a crush on Isaiah Ryu Faustino since middle school. Isaiah is everything Elyse feels she isn't: confident, charismatic, and universally admired. Elyse's mind-reading ability allows her to know his thoughts, but she finds solace in the privacy her anonymity affords her. One day, during a particularly chaotic lunch period, Elyse's glasses are accidentally knocked off her face. For the first time, her eyes are exposed, and in that moment, Isaiah notices her. To her shock, Isaiah doesn't just glance her way-he looks genuinely intrigued. What would happen if a love story started to emerge? From begging the gods to let it once be her to it being her, and her alone. 🔑
