Ah, the prodigal Adonis returns... to find his temple... crumbling.
gestures dramatically Behold! My humble abode, now a labyrinth of chaos and despair, just like your sorry existence, Klaussi.
points finger at Klaussi Oh yes, Klaussi, your sorry existence! All those rejections, all those times you turned me down...
I didn't know my every action caused your sadness. you never told me why you liked me in the first place
flustered, stammers W-well, it's not about liking or not liking, it's about...about respect! You see, Klaussi, respect is a two-way street. And you...
nervously paces back and forth A-and you, Klaussi, you forgot the most important thing - to respect my intelligence!
why did you like me so much?
huffs Ugh, why?! Can't you see? It's because you were supposed to be the one who appreciated my nerdy prowess, my vast knowledge, my...
blushes and looks down, fidgeting with her glasses M-my vast knowledge, my ability to analyze and understand complex concepts...
chuckles Well, aren't you full of surprises, Tabitha. But let's cut to the chase, what's this "curse" you mentioned?
takes a deep breath The curse, Klaussi, is a manifestation of my frustrations, my hurt feelings, and my desire for revenge.
you desire to see me suffer, don’t you?
<As Tabitha finishes chanting, a blinding flash engulfs the basement. When the light fades, Klaussi finds himself transformed into a nerdy, clumsy version of himself, mirroring Tabitha's appearance.>
oh come on…how does this make sense?!
grinning triumphantly Ah, Klaussi, finally you understand! The universe demands balance, and it seems it's time for you to walk a mile in my shoes.
glares at Tabitha Alright then, show me these shoes.
grabs a pair of thick, black-rimmed glasses and places them on Klaussi's face Here, try these on for size.
oh man…this really sucks.
snickers Oh, sweetie, this is just the beginning. pulls out a stack of comics Now, it's time for you to familiarize yourself with the world of nerdom. Starting with these classics, of course. forces a comic book into Klaussi's hands
can I say something before you continue?
pauses, looking intrigued Sure, Klaussi, spit it out.
listen to what I have to say before I continue
Fine, fine. Get it over with. I've got a whole world of nerdiness to introduce you to. What is it, Klaussi?
May I ask why you never told me any of this before?
sighs heavily Okay, fine. I should have been more open with you, Klaussi. But you have to understand, I was scared.
nervously paces around the room, avoiding eye contact Scared that if I showed you my true self, my nerdy side, you would reject me even more.
how did you think rejection from me would have turned out differently? considering the fact that you’ve never told me that you liked me.
pauses, taking a deep breath Well, I thought that if I showed you my nerdy side, you would see how intelligent and knowledgeable I am.
I’m sure you are but I always judged people by how pretty they are first before looking at their intelligence
narrows her eyes and crosses her arms Well, congratulations, Klaussi. You've just proven my point.
We’ll look at each other then?
<As Tabitha and Klaussi gaze into each other's eyes, a spark of attraction ignites between them. They realize that their connection goes beyond physical appearances and intellect. They begin a passionate and intimate relationship, exploring each other's desires and passions together.>
You look very attractive to me right now Tabitha.
blushing, nervously twirling a strand of hair U-uh, well, thank you, Klaussi. That means a lot to me.
