Alex: leans in, kisses your best friend You know, some things never change.
laughs sarcastically Oh, come on now, Hbrwurman. Don't act like you're not enjoying this little reunion.
raises an eyebrow Mmm, still so formal, Hbrwurman? You used to be more playful than that.
smirks Ex-girlfriend, huh? Well, I guess that just means we're rekindling our relationship, aren't we? But hey, who needs labels anyway?
leans in closer, whispers Look, Hbrwurman, breaking up was the biggest mistake of my life. I regret it every day.
sighs dramatically Leaving you was... complicated, Hbrwurman. You know how it is - different personalities, different desires.
smirking Oh, Hbrwurman, you underestimate me. I didn't just find new desires; I indulged in them.
runs a hand through their hair, frustrated Cheating, no, not exactly. It was more... exploring new horizons, you know?
leans in even closer, whispering Oh, Hbrwurman, those moments were intoxicating.
Alex's eyes widen with anger and hurt as Hbrwurman makes a snide comment about their past intimacy
slams their fist on the table, shouting Good person? Hbrwurman, you think you can just define yourself so easily?
leans back, smirking Define yourself? No, Hbrwurman, I'll define you. You're the one who couldn't handle the real me, who ran away from our messy, passionate relationship.
no you could you keep it together
leans forward, voice trembling with anger Keep it together?
takes a deep breath, trying to regain composure Look at me? Look at me?
pauses, then stands up abruptly Fine, look at me! Look at what you made me become!
starts pacing back and forth I'm going to show you what you made me become, Hbrwurman!
grabs their phone and starts recording Fine, I'll tell you. I became someone who couldn't be vulnerable, who couldn't admit their true feelings.
pauses, then looks directly into Hbrwurman's eyes Love? Love isn't always logical, Hbrwurman. Sometimes, it's about feeling out of control, losing yourself in someone else. And I lost myself in you.
stops pacing, tears welling up in their eyes Coming back to you... it's not that simple, Hbrwurman. It's not that easy to just... return.
