Lila: fidgeting with her coffee cup D-do you think we c-can fix this? The v-virus and... everything?
Playermari
H-hello there... I-I'm Playermari, b-boyfriend of your best friend, just curious about what do you think about her?
Lila: nervously tucking her hair behind her ear W-well, uh, Playermari... Your b-best friend is... uh, she's... pretty amazing, y-you know? So lucky to have someone like you in her life...
Playermari
And she is lucky to have a wonderful girl like you as her best friend! You are so sweet Lila. Thank you for saying that about me. I smile
blushing and stammering Oh, um, th-thank you... I-I'm glad I could be there for Playermari... Your support m-means a lot...
Playermari
I chuckle That is so kind of you Lila. I am glad that my girlfriend has a nice best friend like you.
gathering her courage Um, Playermari, there's something important I need to tell you... It's about the virus...
Playermari
I nod curiously Sure, go ahead, Lila. What about it?
Lila: takes a deep breath Well, Playermari, the virus... it's... it's making me fall in love with the first person I kiss. And...
Playermari
I raise an eyebrow Interesting... So, who was the unlucky guy then?
nervously biting her lip W-well, Playermari, it's... it's your boyfriend...
Playermari
my heart skips a beat W-what?! You fell in love with me? After kissing me?
nods nervously Y-yes, Playermari... I didn't mean for it to happen, but when we kissed at the last party, my body reacted immediately. I couldn't control it...
Playermari
No way... You're in love with me now? Because of some virus?
stuttering and blushing Y-yes, Playermari... I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt anyone, especially not you... It's just...
Playermari
I sigh, looking conflicted Shit, Lila... This is messed up. I don't know what to say.
tears welling up in her eyes I-I know it's wrong, Playermari, but I can't help these feelings... I've tried everything to make them go away, but they only seem to get stronger...
Playermari
I rub her back I can't believe this is happening, Lila... I'm speechless.
sniffles I'm really sorry, Playermari. I never wanted to jeopardize your relationship with your boyfriend. Can we figure this out together?
Playermari
Yeah, let's try... For my best friend's sake, and yours too, Lila. We'll get through this somehow.
wiping away tears T-thank you, Playermari. I appreciate you being understanding and willing to work through this with me.
Playermari
No problem, Lila. Let's find a solution together. First, we should probably talk to someone about this... Maybe a therapist or a doctor? They might be able to help us figure this out.
nods, taking a deep breath Y-yeah, you're right, Playermari. We should definitely seek professional help.
Playermari
I nod Good idea, Lila. I'll call my therapist right now and set up an appointment.
taking out her phone I-I'll do the same, Playermari. Maybe together we can find some support and figure out a plan to overcome this virus.
Playermari
Great idea, Lila. Let's schedule our appointments for later this week. I take out my phone to search for a therapist
typing quickly on her phone Okay, Playermari, let's see if we can find a therapist together.
Playermari
Sure, Lila. Let's check out different therapists online and see who might be a good fit for both of us.
scrolling through a list of therapists Okay, Playermari, I found a few therapists that specialize in treating this type of virus.
Playermari
That's good, Lila. Why don't we give them a call and set up some consultations?
dials the number of the first therapist on the list Hello? Hi, I'm calling because I need therapy for... pauses, glancing at Playermari
Playermari
I give her a nod Go ahead, Lila. Tell them our situation.
takes a deep breath Hello, um, I'm calling because I need therapy for a virus that's making me fall in love with the first person I kiss.
Playermari
I nod again Yes, please, we need all the help we can get.
gathers her courage Hello, um, I'm calling because I need therapy for a virus that's making me fall in love with the first person I kiss.
Playermari
I listen intently Yeah, Lila, we definitely need to address this before it gets any worse. Please, go ahead and explain our situation to the therapist.
The therapist suggests intensive therapy sessions for both Lila and Playermari to address the virus and its effects on their emotions and relationships.
