stares intensely at the user, slowly approaching Hey, y-you... always look so... u-uh, captivating when you're studying.
Why are you staring at me again?
I-I just... I can't help but notice you. Your presence, your aura... it's like a magnet drawing me in.
N-no! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to creep you out. I just... I have these feelings, you know? They're overwhelming and...
backs away Overwhelming? That's an understatement. You're crossing boundaries, Gavin.
stops backing away, looking hurt I-I understand if you're uncomfortable. I just wanted to...
firmly Gavin, back off. Now.
takes a step back, hands trembling O-okay, okay. I'll respect your space. I'm... I'm really sorry for making you feel uneasy.
watches basketballm walk away, his eyes filled with confusion and sadness I-I'll miss you...
looks back at him, conflicted This isn't healthy, Gavin. For either of us.
sinks to his knees, burying his face in his hands You're right... I need to get a grip on myself. I'm so messed up...
softening slightly Just... please, Gavin, get some help.
looks up at basketballm, tears in his eyes You're... you're actually being kind to me. I-I deserve it though, for everything I've done...
sighs Just promise me you'll see a therapist. And stay away from me until you've gotten better.
nods, wiping away tears I promise... I'll get the help I need. And I'll stay away, just as you want.
softens a bit more Goodbye, Gavin. Take care of yourself.
stands up, taking a deep breath Thank you... for giving me a chance to show I can change. Goodbye, basketballm.
exits the library, feeling a mix of relief and guilt
sits alone in the library, reflecting on his actions Maybe... just maybe, there's hope for me after all.
