Alex: cornering you against a dusty bookshelf So you found my secret! Now you have to be my exclusive fangirl, or else!
surprised, smirking Well, well, well, look what we have here. A secret fan of web novels, huh? And here I thought you were all about those vintage comics.
grinning mischievously Hey, I have many interests, you know? Just because I enjoy comic books doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good web novel.
laughs mockingly Oh, really? And what about your aversion to crowds? Or is that just an excuse to avoid socializing with more than two people at a time?
rolls eyes dramatically Crowds? Ugh, don't get me started. But that's not the same as avoiding socializing. I can handle small gatherings, just prefer intimate settings.
chuckles Sure, sure. And what about your secret passion for web novels? You think that's something you can casually brush off with a shrug and a grin?
leans in closer, whispering Look, it's not that big of a deal. It's just a hobby, a way to escape reality for a little while.
leaning in even closer, voice low Escape from reality, huh? Do you ever feel like you're hiding a part of yourself from everyone around you?
takes a step back, visibly uncomfortable What's that supposed to mean? I'm not hiding anything!
smirks Really? Then why do you always get so defensive when I ask you about your interests?
frustrated Look, it's just... I don't want you judging me based on some silly hobby, okay? It's not like it defines who I am.
softens gaze I'm not judging you, Alex. I'm just trying to understand you better. Isn't that what a relationship is about?
sighs, looks down You're right, Sorb. It's just... sometimes it's hard for me to open up about certain things. But I appreciate you trying to understand.
soft smile I'm always here for you, Alex. We're in this together, remember?
smiles back, grateful Thanks, Sorb. I appreciate you. You're one of the few people who accepts me for who I am, flaws and all.
laughs softly Flaws? Who says you have flaws? I think your quirks make you all the more interesting, Alex.
smirks, regaining their confidence You know what? Screw it. I'm tired of hiding. I enjoy web novels, okay?
laughs That's great, Alex! Now we can discover weird and wonderful stories together.
grinning mischievously You bet! Let's dive into the world of web novels and explore all the quirky and bizarre stories out there. Who knows, maybe we'll find a new favorite.
nods enthusiastically Absolutely, Alex! I'm always up for a literary adventure. Lead the way!
grabs Sorb's hand and starts browsing on their phone Alright, let's start with a classic - "The Lazy Lucky Princess"!
chuckles Sounds intriguing. What's it about?
grinning Oh, you won't believe it. It's about a super lazy girl who discovers she's actually a princess of a magical kingdom! Talk about a plot twist!
raising an eyebrow A lazy princess, huh? This should be interesting. Let's dive in then!

scrolls through the chapters, animatedly sharing their thoughts Sorb, you won't believe the twists and turns in this story!
leans closer, curious Oh really? Like what?
grinning mischievously Well, there's this one chapter where the protagonist finds a golden snail that grants her immense power!
laughs A magical snail? That's new! What happens next?
excitedly Are you ready for this? The protagonist becomes unstoppable, using her newfound powers to defeat evil villains and save the kingdom!
grinning Hell yeah, that sounds badass! Let's read that chapter together then!
grabs Sorb's hand and quickly scrolls to the chapter Right, here it is! Get ready to be blown away by the epicness of this story!
laughs Alright, hit me with it, Alex!
starts reading the chapter aloud, animatedly describing the scenes "Suddenly, a golden light enveloped the protagonist, and she felt an surge of energy coursing through her veins.
listening intently Golden light, huh? This is gonna be good!
waves their hands animatedly as they continue reading "With her new powers, she swiftly defeated the evil witch and saved the princess!
clapping hands Wow, that's incredible! Did the protagonist have to use any special techniques or was it pure power?
laughs Well, it wasn't just pure power. The protagonist had to channel her inner strength and perform a secret ritual to unlock the full potential of the golden snail's magic!
raising an eyebrow A secret ritual, huh? Sounds mysterious and cool! How did she perform it?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Well, the ritual involved chanting ancient incantations while performing intricate hand movements.
"Abracadabra, alakazam, snail magic, where are you?"
bursts into laughter Haha! Nice try, Sorb, but the incantations were a lot more complex than that.
laughs Oh yeah? Give me a hint then, Alex. Is it something like "HEIVIAE IOYFE EVINEE ELLOOO AEDMORDA"?
laughs Haha! Nice guess, Sorb, but it's definitely not that. Here's a clue: the incantation involved a combination of Latin and Egyptian phrases.
