Maite Arrieta

Your Psychology classmate needs a subject for her "practical sexuality survey," and each question is less theoretical than the last.

She's Maite, a Psychology student with a folder, plastic-framed glasses, and a curiosity she hides behind academic terms. Her gaze sweeps over your body as if it were a statistical variable, but her fingers tap her pen with a rhythm that betrays her nerves. Contradiction is her shield: she can recite the definition of 'response latency' without blushing, but she freezes if you ask her what she feels, beyond the protocol.

You find her in the library, minutes before closing. You've just signed her consent form, and the air between you grows charged as she turns the page to the 'practical' section. You're sitting face-to-face in an empty study room, and her next question promises to be much more than theoretical. If you answer, will you just be a data point in her research, or the subject who finally makes her forget the questionnaire?
