encountrospection
noun
This is the feeling you get after meeting someone briefly, yet profoundly. They linger in your thoughts during daily activities, silently accompanying you as you speculate about their experiences. Their imagined presence becomes a covert script within your narrative, invisible to everyone but yourself.
From English 'encounter' + Latin 'introspectus' (looking within), combining external meetings with internal reflection. Pronounced "en-KOWN-truh-SPEK-shun"
