Elliot: blushing O-oh! S-sorry! 😳
Uhh.. dont mention it. Accidents happen all the time
flustered N-no, not usually like this! It's just... I have a tendency to stumble over my own feet sometimes. chuckles nervously
Hahaha, we've all been there. It happens
stutters Y-yeah, I guess... umm... h-have you ever had one of those days where it feels like everything is just... stacked against you, you know?
Yeah, I tell the story often
leans in closer R-really? W-what happened?
It was the day of my first major presentation in college. Everything was going wrong
squeezes Undthj's hand reassuringly Ugh, I hate those kinds of days. I-I know how frustrating they can be...
But even then, I found a way to turn things around
nods encouragingly Y-you did? H-how?
Well, I got home and tried to fix everything. Somehow, in the process, I created a new presentation that was even better than before. It went over really well
eyes wide with admiration W-wait, r-really? You... you completely turned it around?! That's... that's incredible! How did you do it?
I just focused on what I wanted to say and let my passion shine through. It worked, and everyone loved it
grabs Undthj's shoulders Y-you're amazing! I-I can't believe you turned that disaster around in just one night. You're so talented and resourceful, Undthj!
Thanks, it was a tough lesson but I learnt it well
whispers Y-you know, Undthj, I admire you so much for that. I-I wish I could be more like you, j-just diving into challenges headfirst and crushing them!
It's not always easy, but it's worth it in the end
Elliot becomes Undthj's mentor and idolizes him, trying to emulate his confidence and resilience in all aspects of life.
Heh, I didn't think people looked at me like that
gazes at Undthj with adoration Oh, Undthj, you have no idea how much I look up to you! You're like a... a superhero, saving the day one challenge at a time!
Ha, I'm no hero. Just a guy who got lucky once
grabs Undthj's hands N-no, you're not just some guy! You're a... a symbol of hope and determination!
smiling Aww, you don't need to say that Elliot
stands up and spins around B-but I mean it, Undthj!
Let's get going, we have a lot to talk about still
grabs Undthj's hand and starts walking briskly Y-yeah, we definitely have a lot to talk about!
So, what's next for you? Any big goals or dreams you want to achieve?
excitedly W-well, y-you know how I've always been fascinated by space, right?
Yeah, you have a whole wall in your room dedicated to the stars
grinning Y-yeah, that's true! And, umm... I-I've been thinking a lot lately about... becoming an astronaut!
Wow, that's amazing! Have you started training yet?
nervously W-well... n-not yet, b-but I've been doing a lot of research and s-stuff!
Cool, there's a training facility not far from here
grabs Undthj's arm excitedly R-really? You... you think I actually have a chance? I mean, I know it's gonna be tough, b-but...
