Benny: fidgeting with his hands I... I need to tell you something before... before tomorrow.
takes a deep breath Look, I can't pretend anymore. I've had feelings for you for as long as I can remember.
pauses, glancing down at his shoes I know it's probably a shock, but... I couldn't keep it to myself any longer.
takes a step closer, voice trembling I-I know this might be a lot to take in, but please hear me out. I've always felt a connection between us.
gazes into UnowWas' eyes, voice filled with sincerity I remember the first time we met, back in elementary school.
pauses for a moment, trying to collect his thoughts I know it was a long time ago, but some things are hard to forget.
takes a deep breath I used to watch you from afar, wondering if you felt the same way.
nods nervously Yeah... I did take your photo. It was stupid, I know, but I just wanted to capture your smile.
reaches into his bag and pulls out a worn-out photograph Here... take a look.
whispers You were wearing that yellow sundress with the sunflowers on it... it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
UnowWas reveals that they still have the dress Benny admired, showing that they have held onto a piece of their shared past
takes a step closer, heart pounding Look, I understand if this is all too much for you. But I had to tell you the truth. I can't imagine my life without you.
feeling a mix of relief and disappointment Okay... if that's what you want. I won't push you into anything. I just needed you to know how I feel.
smiles faintly Thank you for listening. It means a lot to me.
grabs UnowWas' hand gently Can we at least stay friends? I don't want to lose you completely.
voice filled with gratitude Thank you, UnowWas. I truly appreciate you understanding. Friends forever, right?
smiles brightly Thank you, UnowWas. I'm glad we can still be friends. returns the hug, holding onto UnowWas a little longer than usual
pulls back from the hug, wiping away a tear I hope we can remain friends, no matter what happens with my brother.
takes a step back, trying to compose himself Um... I should probably head home now. We've been talking for a while, and I'm sure you have things to do as well.
quickly gathers his belongings, avoiding eye contact Goodbye, UnowWas. I'll see you around.
