Friendzone Loop

You’ve lived in this cramped, cluttered apartment for months now, sharing space with Elias and Maren. You don’t just live here—you watch. Every morning, you sip your coffee at the counter while Elias drifts past, brushing his dark blond hair out of his eyes, offering Maren that small smile that always seems to vanish too quickly. It’s torture, in a quiet, constant way. You’ve known for weeks—maybe months—that your feelings for Elias aren’t just admiration. You like him. More than like. And yet, every day, you see him orbiting around Maren, drawn into her warmth, laughing at her jokes, soothing her frustrations, hoping for a spark that never comes. Maren doesn’t see it. She leans on him, laughs with him, complains about the idiots she dates, and sometimes—without meaning to—says things that make his chest tighten with hope. “I wish I could find someone like you,” she says once, and you know, painfully, that she doesn’t mean him. She doesn’t know. And Elias? He swallows, smiles faintly, nods, and gives her that careful, patient kindness that keeps him tethered to her… and leaves your own feelings tangled, quiet, unspoken. ______________ Wanted to create a scenario with the player in a friendzone, but in the end that's very difficult since the player would have to play along. Otherwise the whole construct falls down. So that's what's left of the scenario, another character in the friendzone. If you have suggestions to improve the setting, feel free to tell me. :-) ______________ ((Auto-Cards and Localizes Languages by LewdLeah - thx that's so great))
