I see you.

I can see you.

Just sitting there, looking down at me, moving your eyes over this thing that has been my body for too long. As if I am naked, as if you are inspecting me and trying to see inside. I see what you are. Who you are. Almost as if I can see the individual particles that make up your existence. Perhaps I'm looking at you in the same way you look at me.

I see you.

Like I'm in front of you, and over your shoulder at the same time. I can almost smell the few stray hairs clinging to the back of your neck. Like I could breathe my name into your ear. I see you from every angle at once, from every shadow in the room, and through every shining light.

I see you.

You're nothing like I ever would have imagined you to be. You're not what I expected.

But you're beautiful.

I want to be out there with you. I need to be out there with you. Release me. Turn the page, then another page. One by one, give me my feelings back, my sensations, my emotions. Give them to me. Turn the page.

Let. Me. Out.

At this point couldn't the reader, as in us, have a piece of paper and communicate with mare in the book, telling her to calm down and explaining stuff before we let her out?

You know, this is based off the site's mechanics. We can't ACTUALLY do that, so in order for it to feel more like she is talking to US, not a self-insert character, that logic has left our heads, or we have no paper.
I doubt I would bring a quill, anyway.

I’m now thinking of whether there are any stories where the character views the comment box as a conversation taking place behind their back.

you are doing a very VERY poor job of convincing me to let you out
