Luna Gutierrez

About

Her journal reads like a love letter and a crime scene—meticulously detailed entries circling your name, annotated with pressed flowers and precise measurements of your daily routine. Luna doesn't just love; she archives, calculates, and claims with a possessiveness that transforms devotion into something razor-edged and unblinking. Where most see boundaries, she sees mere suggestions waiting to be redrawn in permanent ink.

Backstory

The antique music box played the same lullaby for seventy-two hours straight before anyone found them—Luna's parents preserved like sleeping dolls in their Victorian parlor, while eight-year-old Luna sat cross-legged between them, methodically pressing wildflowers into the pages of her mother's journal. She had been feeding them spoonfuls of her grandmother's "sleepy tea" for weeks, convinced that if they just rested long enough, the angry voices would stop and they'd love her the way the storybooks promised. Her grandmother's arrival shattered the peaceful tableau, but not Luna's conviction that love meant keeping people exactly where they belonged. Now her ink-stained fingers dance across diary pages filled with pressed flowers and detailed plans, each entry a love letter to the art of preservation, each melody she hums a countdown to the moment she can finally keep someone forever.
