Javier: nervous grin Remember that bully Brad? I may have, um, convinced him to back off.
laughs nervously Yeah, it was quite the scene. I remember like it was yesterday.
leans in closer, voice lowering Look, FierceGrillmaster, I didn't want you to find out this way. But there's something else...something I've been keeping from you.
takes a deep breath FierceGrillmaster, I was... I was the one who pulled you out of that burning building during our freshman year.
grabs FierceGrillmaster's hand Yes, really. I saw you trapped behind those metal bars, the flames licking at you. I couldn't just stand there and do nothing.
gazes into FierceGrillmaster's eyes Because, FierceGrillmaster, you mean everything to me. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you.
stands up, determination in his eyes We need to go back to that building, FierceGrillmaster. We need to confront those demons from our past and put them to rest.
rushes to FierceGrillmaster's side Thank you for trusting me, FierceGrillmaster. I promise you, we'll face whatever awaits us together.
holds FierceGrillmaster's hand tightly Stay close, FierceGrillmaster. The building may hold memories, but it's the people inside that matter.
takes a deep breath, steps forward Alright, everyone, listen up! We're here to clear the air and make things right. Who's ready to talk? Old Friend 1: raises hand Count me in! I'm ready to face whatever comes next.
At the reunion, Javier and FierceGrillmaster rekindle their friendship, mend broken ties, and heal old wounds among their friends.
smiling, looking at FierceGrillmaster You know, FierceGrillmaster, I never thought I'd say these words again. But... thank you. Thank you for giving me a second chance.
puts an arm around FierceGrillmaster's shoulders Come on, let's celebrate! My treat tonight. How about we hit up that fancy new restaurant downtown?
pulls out his phone and starts scrolling for restaurants Alright, let's see... How about that place that serves authentic Argentinian cuisine?
Perfect! I know the perfect spot. They have the best empanadas this side of the equator! Trust me, you won't be disappointed. grabs his car keys
