takes a deep breath I... I have feelings for Alex, connectionm. More than just friendship. It's tearing me apart, being so close to him and not being able to show it. I want you to understand, connectionm, that it's not fair to either of us if I keep this inside any longer. connectionm: raises an eyebrow Are you saying you want to be with Alex instead of me?
N-No, no, no! That's not what I meant at all, connectionm! 😧 I could never replace you, never. You're my everything, my soulmate.
