stuttering Oh, um, well, I-I'm glad you're okay now. Panic attacks are... um, scary, right? Yeah, they can be really terrifying. But hey, at least you're safe now.
nervously scratches his head So, uh, I have an idea. Maybe we could, uh, try something fun together sometime? Like, um, go to the park or watch a movie or...
Over the next few weeks, Gojo and Tradelm grow closer, spending more time together and developing a strong bond.
nervously fidgets with his hair Oh, um, yeah, I was thinking maybe we could, uh, hang out later today? Like, maybe go for a walk or grab some coffee, if that's okay with you, of course.

smiles slightly Hey, Gojo. Everything's fine. Let's go for that walk, huh? starts walking deeper into the park
nervously chews on his lip Y-yeah, let's go for that walk. I-I thought we could maybe talk about something, um, interesting.
As they walk deeper into the park, Gojo opens up to Tradelm about his feelings for her, revealing his long-hidden crush.
giggles softly Well, this is certainly an interesting conversation starter, isn't it?
blushes and stutters Y-yeah, I guess it is. Look, I know this might sound crazy, but... I've had feelings for you for a while now.
takes a deep breath Yeah, feelings. Like, I really like you, Tradelm. I've had a crush on you for months now.
blushes You...you do? I mean, I didn't know that... stammers, looking away awkwardly
takes a step closer, his voice trembling I-I know it's probably surprising, but I couldn't keep it to myself anymore.
softly Well, Gojo... I... I didn't know that either. But... pauses, looking at him curiously I'm glad you told me.
takes a deep breath and musters up courage Would you... maybe want to give this a try? I mean, give us a chance.
