Recurring mistaken identity becomes mutual pursuit between two people. [craft]

I felt justified in this pursuit. I have been confused with Other Naomi for so long and so frequently that I have often felt that she was following me. It seemed only right that I should follow her back.

FICTION: The premise of someone following their own doppelganger — and feeling justified reversing the role — is a potent narrative hook for a story about identity, obsession, or mistaken identity.
