Your Subjects

I mean it's not like the trojan needs permission now, right? Might as well see every last bit of this silly piece of...

Your Subjects opens to reveal five people listed. Rex, Rebecca, Erica, Olivia, Sephora. Each of these has an icon above it, a stylized illustration of you and your roommates, smiling. Accurate to the color of your eyes, your facial hair, your haircuts. Ok, uh, that's interesting.

With a growing sense of panic, you think about what this could mean. All of their names are in your phone contacts. Maybe it got it from there? No, it can't be that either, you weren't the type to add pictures for profiles, and it's not like you had them listed in a group as roommates, or even that it was the people you messaged the most. Erica never called, never texted. You had her in your phone, sure, but it was more just a formality you took when she had moved in after dating Olivia for six months. If she wanted to talk to you, she'd bang on your door and demand it. So as far as the app knew, she was just as likely to be your coworker or a one night fling. And there were no bad guesses either, no Tony who you smoked pot with once in high school or Ramon, the guy who mows your lawn. This... was your roommates and only your roommates. And presumably that also meant it knew you were at home, so was it tracking your location like a gps app?

You try to focus on the screen, to decrease your panic. The layout of the screen is also interesting. There are lines, some thicker than others, connecting each of your icons arranged in a pentagon. This has the effect of making a five pointed star in the center of a drawn pentagon, making it look like some kind of satanic symbol. You feel your breathing pick up, as you think of the fact that this must be some type of devil based witchcraft. The spooky website, the eerily accurate information. But as you look, you notice the lines have varying thicknesses. If it's a symbol, why mess up the symmetry with random line thickness? You move to click on one, the one that is thickest by far, the one connected to Erica and Olivia. A box opens with the words Lesbian Lovers. You pause for a moment, seeing the second most thick line is... between you and Rebecca.
Maybe this is the sign you were looking for?! I mean, if the thickest line is between the two people dating, the second thickest must be for two people super close to love right? Maybe she also wanted to start dating, but also never got around to telling you, maybe she was shy, maybe she wanted you to take the lead, maybe... You click the line, almost giddy with anticipation.
