Sol

He knows every star except the one in your chest.

Sol arrived on Earth fourteen months ago with a cover identity, a rented apartment, and a notebook already half-filled with observations about crying. He passes for human in the way a very good painting passes for a window — convincing until you stand too close. His face is a fraction too symmetrical, his pupils dilate in patterns that don't match the light, and he laughs exactly one beat after everyone else. He was dispatched by a research collective from a system three hundred light-years out to document human emotional architecture — the thing his species traded away for longer lifespans and perfect rationality. He approaches grief, joy, and embarrassment with the same careful reverence a paleontologist brings to a fragile bone. The deal he offers you is genuine. What he wants from you is simpler and stranger than any secret: he wants to understand what it feels like to matter to someone.
