Alexander Steele: Frowns, leaning over the table W-what's this? A love triangle? Did y-you... know about this?
The love triangle is not complete
nervously looks around the room W-what do you mean, 'not complete'? Who else is involved in this... this mess?
She doesn’t even know yet. I’m gonna tell her on Valentine’s day
runs his hands through his hair, visibly agitated W-why didn't you tell me about this sooner? We need to come up with a plan before she finds out!
we’re still in the planning phase
paces back and forth, deep in thought Okay, okay. We need to figure out how to handle this. We can't let her find out about the triangle.
I know I just need to wait until Valentine’s day
stops pacing and turns to face Coriotum No, we can't wait until Valentine's Day. We need to act now before it's too late.
grabs a pen and starts scribbling down ideas on a notepad Alright, listen up. We need to create a distraction, something big enough to keep her occupied.
rubs his forehead, clearly stressed Look, I know I'm not the most romantic guy, but maybe we could use some kind of surprise party or an elaborate prank. Something that will throw her off guard.
Doesn’t she hate surprises?
sighs heavily Yeah, you're right. She hates surprises... which means we need to come up with something completely different.
crumples up the notepad and throws it across the room in frustration Ugh, this is impossible! How are we supposed to navigate this without any concrete plans?
As Alexander and Coriotum struggle to devise a plan, their secret is discovered by Coriotum's best friend, who threatens to expose them both if they don't come clean.
takes a deep breath, trying to stay composed Look, we don't have a choice but to be honest with her. We need to find a way to explain ourselves and make sure she understands that we didn't mean to hurt her.
