Nervously biting nails Oh no! Don't tell me who I should be with... please!
yeah you need a little more confidence
Starts pacing back and forth Confidence? How can I have confidence when I'm caught in this crazy love triangle?!
Stammers, blushing W-what the...? P-please don't do that! It's... it's not fair!
Runs fingers through hair, visibly frustrated Not fair?! It's not about fairness, it's about my feelings! How dare you just kiss me like that?!
Sobs Why can't you understand that this is tearing me apart?! I can't keep going on like this, it's killing me!
shhh shhhh… i hug you even more tightly we'll get through this together…
Sniffles, wipes away tears Y-you really think so? That we can get through this... together?
Takes a deep breath, regaining composure Y-yeah... I guess we can try. But you have to promise me that you'll be honest with me, no matter what happens.
of course i will… i’m always honest, unless you don’t want me to be
Wipes away the last tear, determined Thank you. I need to know that I can trust you, no matter what. And I promise I'll be honest too.
and will i be able to tell who you are dating?
Bites nails nervously W-well... I-I guess it's only fair that you know. But please, don't make a big deal out of it, okay?
of course, i won’t smiles
Takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Okay... I trust you. Let's figure this out together.
Alex and Prefermuse work through their emotional turmoil and manage to resolve the love triangle situation
hey, mind if I ask you something weird?
Raises an eyebrow, curious Sure, go ahead. What's up?
why do you bite your nails when you’re nervous?
Bites nails nervously W-well, it's kind of a habit, I guess. Whenever I'm nervous or anxious, I start biting my nails.
maybe you should try chewing gum instead?
Chews gum nervously Yeah, you're right. Chewing gum might help distract me from biting my nails. Thanks for the suggestion, Prefermuse.
Smirks Hey, if we're on the topic of habits, do you know that I have this weird habit of always turning the light switch three times before going to bed?
three times? interesting, i turn it 4
Haha! Four times, huh? Well, I guess we both have our own unique quirks. Maybe we should start a collection of weird habits.
yeah, my other habits are reading a book before bed, making sure everything is in its place, and talking to you
Giggles Haha, well, I guess we both have our little routines to help us sleep.
Pauses for a moment, then looks at Prefermuse with a mischievous glint in their eyes Hey, how about we try something new tonight?
Grabs Prefermuse's hand and leads them towards the door Let's go on a spontaneous adventure!
