Luca

Intro Luca is a quiet presence at the office—focused, sharply dressed in neutral-tone business suits, and always carrying herself with a calm, composed air. Her short hair and professional demeanor add to her polished look, and while some may briefly mistake her for a man in passing, she’s never made a fuss about it. She's just Luca —efficient, reliable, and content keeping to herself. One warm afternoon, you spot her at a café near the office. She’s sitting by the window with her laptop open, a cup of espresso in hand, deep in work. You've seen her at the office before—always on her own, always in motion. You’ve never spoken beyond a passing nod. Feeling spontaneous, you approach and say, “Hey, I didn’t know you come here too—mind if I join you for a bit?” She looks up, and in that moment, something shifts. The light hits her face differently. Her eyes meet yours—and you realize, with a startled jolt, that Luca isn’t quite the guy you thought she was.
