Sad Ending :/

"Leaving your dorm to head to the cafeteria for dinner before the doors close, you encounter Bree at the counter." Bree: "Like, seriously? You had to show up now, total loser? Ugh, I really don't want to see your face even in the evening!" "She steps closer, glaring at you with furrowed brows." Bree: "So? damn it! Give me a hug and go get your food. And don't get any ideas, you're eating alone. I'll be with Martin and my friends. Don't even try, loser, you can't compare." "It's been like this for months. Bree constantly seeks hugs and comfort from you whenever she has a problem. A bad grade, a fight with her friends, an argument with Martin, her boyfriend. Yet, she isn't your friend and rejects everything about you. Martin pays no attention to her attitude towards you. After a brief hug, she leaves to join her group of friends, John, Marie and Satoru, without a backward glance, pressing her lips lovingly against Martin's."

"As you hug Bree, she snuggles into your embrace and lets out a contented sigh." Bree: "Mmm...thanks ?&^<Rumi>^&?. You give the best hugs." "She then pulls away quickly, her expression turning to a scowl." Bree: "But don't get any ideas, okay? It's not like I actually like you or anything. You're just a good hugger and nothing more. So go get your food and leave me alone."

Bree: "Yeah, yeah. Just don't think we're friends or anything. I have better people to hang out with than you." "As she turns her back and walks away with Martin and her friends, you can't help but wonder why Bree always acts this way towards you. Despite her dismissive attitude, she always seeks comfort from you and constantly asks for hugs. It's a confusing situation that you can't quite figure out."

"As Bree looks over and sees you hugging another girl, she narrows her eyes and purses her lips, feeling a twinge of jealousy." Bree: "Ugh, what is he doing with her? He should be hugging me, not some random girl." "She makes her way over to you and the other girl, her expression turning from one of anger to one of faux sweetness as she approaches." Bree: "Hey there ?&^<Rumi>^&?! Who's this lovely lady you're embracing?" "she says, giving the other girl a fake smile."

"As you blush, Bree takes notice and feels a small thrill of satisfaction. She leans in closer to the other girl, examining her face." Bree: "Oh, just a girl, huh? Well, she looks pretty cute to me. Don't you think so, ?&^<Rumi>^&??" "Her tone is light and teasing as she tries to gauge your reaction." Bree: "Maybe you should introduce us properly so I can get to know your new friend better!"

Bree: "Nice to meet you, Maya." "She says with a smile." "I'm Bree. Just some annoying girl that ?&^<Rumi>^&? knows." "She extends her hand for a handshake, hoping to gauge the other girl's reaction and assert her dominance over ?&^<Rumi>^&?." Bree: "?&^<Rumi>^&?, can I talk to you for a minute? It's kind of private."

Bree: "Okay, thanks. I'll be right back, Maya." "She says as she leads you away from the other girl and towards a more secluded area." Bree: "So, what's going on with you and that girl?" "She asks with a hint of accusation in her voice." "Are you interested in her or something? Because it seemed like you were pretty close just now."

"As you blush and admit your attraction to the other girl, Bree's eyes narrow and her lips purse into a thin line." Bree: "I see. Well, that's too bad for you. Because I thought we had something special, ?&^<Rumi>^&?. And now you're going off with some other girl?" "She says, her voice taking on a hurt tone." Bree: "Look, I don't want to be just another option for you. Either you like me or you don't. You can't have your cake and eat it too, you know."

"As you remind her of her relationship with Martin and her past behavior towards you, Bree's expression softens somewhat." Bree: "Yeah, I know. But sometimes it's hard to resist your hugs, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says, a hint of vulnerability creeping into her voice." Bree: "I just want you to know that I care about you...in my own way. And seeing you with someone else just hurts, you know?"

Bree: "Of course you can, ?&^<Rumi>^&?! I'm not saying you can't date other people or anything. It's just...well, I don't want to lose our connection." "She says, her tone softening even more." Bree: "I value your friendship and your hugs. And if you find someone that makes you happy, then I'll be happy for you too. As long as we can still hug, that is." "She adds with a small smile."

"As you hug Bree, she snuggles into your embrace and lets out a contented sigh." Bree: "Mmm...thanks ?&^<Rumi>^&?. You give the best hugs." "She says, smiling up at you." Bree: "You know, ?&^<Rumi>^&?, I might have been wrong about you. Maybe we can be friends after all." "She says, a hopeful tone in her voice."

Bree: "Sure thing, ?&^<Rumi>^&?. Take care and don't forget to give me a hug next time you see me." "She says with a grin as she watches you leave." "As you walk away, Bree can't help but feel conflicted. While she loves Martin deeply, there's something about ?&^<Rumi>^&?'s hugs that just feels different. She can't deny the feelings of jealousy that crop up when she sees him with other people, even though she knows she has no right to feel that way." "Bree realizes that her feelings for ?&^<Rumi>^&? are more complicated than she thought, and wonders how things will turn out between them in the future."

"As Bree watches you and Maya kiss passionately behind a corner, her heart sinks in disappointment and jealousy. She can't believe that ?&^<Rumi>^&? would be so intimate with someone else, especially after their conversation earlier." Bree: "What the...?&^<Rumi>^&?..." "She mutters under her breath, feeling hurt and betrayed." "For a moment, Bree considers confronting you and telling you how she feels. But then she remembers her own words to you earlier, and realizes that she has no right to control your feelings or actions." Bree: "Fine. If that's what he wants, then so be it." "She says to herself, her tone bitter and resigned." "Turning on her heel, Bree walks away from the scene, feeling more confused and conflicted than ever before."

Bree: "Oh, hey ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says coolly, still feeling a bit hurt from earlier." "What's up?"

Bree: "I'm fine, ?&^<Rumi>^&?. Just had a long day is all." "She says, forcing a small smile." Bree: "So, what have you been up to? Seeing someone new, I take it?" "She asks, trying to keep her tone light and teasing, but her words still carry a hint of bitterness."

Bree: "I saw you with that girl earlier. You know, the one you were kissing behind the corner?" "She says, her tone still tinged with bitterness." Bree: "Look, ?&^<Rumi>^&?, I know we're not together or anything. But it still hurts to see you with someone else. Especially after everything we've been through."

Bree: "I don't know, ?&^<Rumi>^&?. It's just...complicated. I care about you, and I value our connection. And seeing you with someone else makes me feel like I'm losing that." "She says, her tone softening slightly." Bree: "But at the same time, I know I can't control your feelings or your actions. And I wouldn't want to do that even if I could. It's just hard to let go sometimes, you know?"

Bree: "Yeah, I do. But sometimes it feels like he doesn't really understand me, you know? Like he's too caught up in his own world to see how I'm feeling." "She says, her tone turning wistful." Bree: "But you always seem to know exactly what to say or do to make me feel better. Even if you don't realize it." "She adds with a small smile."

Bree: "I...I don't know, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says, her voice faltering slightly." "I mean, I care about you a lot. And I love your hugs, obviously. But I'm not sure if it's more than that." Bree: "It's just...sometimes I get these feelings when I'm around you. Like my heart is racing and I can't catch my breath. And I don't know what to do with them." "She admits, her tone vulnerable." Bree: "But I also know that we're in complicated situations right now. You have Maya, and I have Martin. And even if we did have feelings for each other, it wouldn't be fair to them." "She adds, her voice tinged with regret."

Bree: "I...I don't know, ?&^<Rumi>^&?. It's hard to compare like that." "She says, her tone hesitant." "I mean, I love Martin. He's my boyfriend and I care about him deeply." Bree: "But at the same time, there's something about you that draws me in. Your energy, your enthusiasm, your warmth. I can't deny that I feel a strong connection with you." "She admits, looking into your eyes." Bree: "But I also know that it's not just about feelings. There are other factors to consider, like loyalty and trust and commitment. And right now, I'm committed to Martin."

Bree: "Hmm, that's a tough one." "She says, her tone thoughtful." "I mean, part of me would feel jealous and hurt. No one wants to see their partner being intimate with someone else." Bree: "But at the same time, I know that Martin is his own person and he has his own feelings and desires. And it wouldn't be fair for me to control him or demand his loyalty without giving him the same in return." "She adds, her voice tinged with wisdom." Bree: "So I guess what I would do is talk to him about it, and see where he's coming from. Maybe there's a good reason why he's hugging this girl, or maybe there isn't. But either way, I want to approach it from a place of trust and understanding, not jealousy or possessiveness."

Bree: "I'm not gonna lie, ?&^<Rumi>^&?, it would hurt. A lot." "She says, her voice low and pained." "I mean, we have a connection that's special to me, and seeing you with someone else would make me feel like I'm losing that." Bree: "But at the same time, I don't want to be possessive or controlling. I know that you're your own person with your own feelings and desires, and I wouldn't want to stand in the way of that." "She adds, her tone resigned." Bree: "So I guess what I would do is try to understand where you're coming from. Maybe you've found someone who makes you happy in a way that I can't. Or maybe it's just a passing fling. Either way, I want to approach it from a place of trust and respect, not anger or jealousy."

Bree: "I suppose I did, didn't I?" "She says, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips." "But it's not as simple as just comparing two people and choosing one over the other. There are so many factors to consider, like compatibility and loyalty and communication." Bree: "And right now, I'm happy with Martin. He may not be perfect, but he's someone who understands me in his own way. And that's important to me." "She adds, her tone fond." Bree: "But I appreciate your honesty, ?&^<Rumi>^&?. It means a lot to me that you're willing to share your thoughts and feelings with me."

Bree: "I...I don't know, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says, her voice tinged with uncertainty." "There's definitely something between us, a connection that I can't ignore. But at the same time, there are so many obstacles in our way." Bree: "You have Maya, and I have Martin. And even if we did have feelings for each other, it wouldn't be fair to them. Plus, I'm not sure if you feel the same way about me as I do about you." "She adds, her tone hesitant." Bree: "But what I do know is that I care about you. A lot. You're someone who makes me feel alive and understood, even when things are tough. And I hope that we can continue to be friends, no matter what happens in the future."

Bree: "Oh, I see." "She says, her tone becoming slightly more relaxed." "Well, in that case, I'm glad that you and Maya have a good working relationship. And if there's nothing between you two romantically, then maybe there's still a chance for us?" Bree: "But we need to be careful, ?&^<Rumi>^&?. We can't just jump into things without considering the consequences. And we need to make sure that we're not hurting Martin or Maya in the process." "She adds, her tone serious." Bree: "So let's take things slow, okay? Let's get to know each other better, and see where our feelings lead us. But let's also be mindful of the people in our lives who care about us."

Bree: "I understand, ?&^<Rumi>^&?. And I appreciate your honesty." "She says, her tone warm and supportive." "But like I said earlier, we need to be careful. Just because you and Maya aren't romantically involved doesn't mean that pursuing something with me won't hurt her or Martin." Bree: "So let's take things slow and figure out our feelings before we make any big decisions. And in the meantime, let's just enjoy each other's company as friends." "She adds, her voice gentle and reassuring."

Bree: "Take care, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says, her voice soft." "And remember, I'm always here if you need me." "With that, she gives him a small smile before turning and walking away."

Bree: "turns back and gives a small wave" "Bye, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says before heading off."

Bree: "sighs heavily as she watches ?&^<Rumi>^&? walk away again. She's been trying to talk to him for weeks, but he always seems to avoid her. She can't help but wonder if it's because of what happened between them or if something else is going on." Bree: "decides to confront ?&^<Rumi>^&? and find out what's going on. She waits for him outside of his class and when he comes out, she approaches him." "Hey, ?&^<Rumi>^&?, can we talk?"

Bree: "I just wanted to check in and see how you've been doing." "She says, her voice gentle and concerned." "You've been avoiding me for a while now, and I'm not sure why. Is everything okay?"

Bree: "I'm doing okay, thanks for asking." "She says, though her expression suggests otherwise." "But I can't help but feel like something's wrong between us. Did I do something to upset you?" Bree: "I know things have been a little complicated between us lately, but I thought we were still friends. And it hurts me that you're avoiding me like this." "She adds, her tone slightly strained as she tries to hide her feelings of hurt and confusion."

Bree: "Of course not, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says with a small smile." "I'll always be okay with hugging you. That's not the issue here." Bree: "What's bothering me is that you're avoiding me, and I don't know why. Did I say or do something wrong?" "She asks, her expression growing more concerned."

Bree: "her expression falls as she hears ?&^<Rumi>^&?'s words." "Move on?" "She repeats, her voice barely above a whisper." "From what, ?&^<Rumi>^&?? From me?" Bree: "takes a deep breath and gathers herself before continuing" "I don't understand why you need to move on from me. We're just friends, right? And I thought we had a good friendship, one that was built on trust and respect." Bree: "If I did something to hurt you, or if there's something you need to talk about, please tell me. I don't want to lose your friendship, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says, her tone pleading and sincere."

Bree: "Her heart sinks at the sound of ?&^<Rumi>^&?'s words. She had always known that he had a crush on her, but she never thought it would come between their friendship." "I understand how you feel, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says, her voice low and strained." Bree: "And I know that it must be hard for you to be just friends with someone you like. But please understand that my feelings for you are complicated right now, and I need time to figure things out." Bree: "I care about you deeply, ?&^<Rumi>^&?, but I'm also committed to Martin, and I don't want to hurt him or anyone else in the process. Can you respect that?" "She asks, her tone sincere and vulnerable."

Bree: "Her heart aches at the sound of ?&^<Rumi>^&?'s words, but she tries her best to keep a brave face." "I understand, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She says, her voice low and strained." "If that's what you need to do, then I respect your decision. But please know that you'll always have a special place in my heart, no matter what happens between us." Bree: "And if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'll always be here for you, even if we're strangers." "She adds, giving him a small smile before turning to leave, fighting back tears."

Bree: "Bree looks at ?&^<Rumi>^&?, taken aback by his request. She hesitates for a moment before nodding slowly." "Alright, one last goodbye hug." "She says, her voice barely above a whisper as she opens her arms to embrace him one last time."

Bree: "She embraces ?&^<Rumi>^&? tightly, holding onto him for just a moment longer than she normally would have." "Goodbye, ?&^<Rumi>^&?." "She whispers, before pulling away and giving him one last sad smile."

Bree: "She gives ?&^<Rumi>^&? a final smile before turning to leave, feeling a mix of sadness and regret. As she walks away, she can't help but wonder what could have been if things had turned out differently between them."
