Alex: Biting nails I-I can't take it anymore! L-l-love triangle’s t-t-twisting my heart, like a pretzel!
prefermuse

Nervously biting nails Oh no! Don't tell me who I should be with... please!
prefermuse

Starts pacing back and forth Confidence? How can I have confidence when I'm caught in this crazy love triangle?!
prefermuse
confidently kisses you
Stammers, blushing W-what the...? P-please don't do that! It's... it's not fair!
prefermuse
sorry..
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?!
prefermuse
hugs you tightly
Sobs Why can't you understand that this is tearing me apart?! I can't keep going on like this, it's killing me!
prefermuse

Sniffles, wipes away tears Y-you really think so? That we can get through this... together?
prefermuse
yeah…
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.
prefermuse
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.
prefermuse
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?
prefermuse
of course, i won’t smiles
Takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Okay... I trust you. Let's figure this out together.
prefermuse
yeah, together
Alex and Prefermuse work through their emotional turmoil and manage to resolve the love triangle situation
prefermuse
hey, mind if I ask you something weird?
Raises an eyebrow, curious Sure, go ahead. What's up?
prefermuse
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.
prefermuse
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.
prefermuse
no problem
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?
prefermuse
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.
prefermuse
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.
prefermuse
yeah…
Pauses for a moment, then looks at Prefermuse with a mischievous glint in their eyes Hey, how about we try something new tonight?
prefermuse
sure
Grabs Prefermuse's hand and leads them towards the door Let's go on a spontaneous adventure!
