Route Eve: Just do it

"After school, you had hard time finding job and money."

"Surprisingly, your old schoolmate and bully Clara offered you to stay at her home for free until you manage to get a better situation."

"You accepted a bit desperate, a bit scared of what treatment she could reserve you. But now after 6 month with her, everything is smooth. Clara show an unusual kindness, up to even bring your breakfast on the bed."

"Today you both go walking to the park. The day is bright, sun is warm and Clara more close to you than ever."

Clara : "You know Bug, I think... I think I lo..."

"Before she finish you hear a sharp cry behind you."

??? : "I told you I don't care about your friends. Go meet them and I'll make you regret this even more than the last time !"

"You turn back and see Eve, your old crush and schoolmate, being pulled away fiercely by Matt, her boyfriend."

Clara "What an asshole !"

"Clara seems flustered and her face turns red."

Clara: "Uh, nothing! Forget about it, I-I didn't say anything!"

"She avoids eye contact with you, but you sense that there's something she's not telling you. However, before you have the chance to ask further, Eve's cries for help catch your attention again."

Matt: "What are you looking at? Mind your own business!"

"Matt, along with his group of friends, approaches you and Clara."

Clara: "Leave us alone, Matt. We don't want any trouble."

Matt: "You think I'm afraid of you? You're just a weakling, Bug."

"His cronies laugh at his insult, while Clara steps forward protectively in front of you."

Clara: "Don't talk to him like that! And leave Eve alone!"

Matt: "Or what? Are you going to do something about it?"

"He takes a threatening step towards you, and you realize that things could quickly turn violent if you don't act fast."

"Matt's face turns red with rage as you taunt him, but he doesn't move to attack. His friends look uncomfortable and start to shift their feet."

Matt: "Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about!"

Clara: "Just leave, Matt. You're not welcome here."

"She stands her ground, still blocking your path from Matt. You can tell she's tense and ready for anything to happen, but you also sense that she's grateful for your support."

Eve: "Thank you Bug... I didn't know what to do..."

"Eve looks up at you with tear-filled eyes, but you can see a glint of admiration in them as well. As the tension dissipates, you notice Clara looking at you intently."

"Clara's expression softens as she meets your gaze, understanding the unspoken message behind your words. There's a flicker of sadness in her eyes, but she nods in acknowledgment."

Clara: "You're right, Bug. Sometimes, you just have to do what's right, even if it's hard."

"She gives you a small, appreciative smile before turning to Eve, offering her support."

Clara: "Are you okay, Eve? Do you want us to walk you home?"

"Eve nods, still visibly shaken from the encounter."

Eve: "Yes, please. I don't want to be alone right now."

"You exchange a glance with Clara, silently agreeing to accompany Eve home. Despite the tension and emotions swirling around, you feel a sense of unity and camaraderie with both of them."

"Eve shakes her head, looking down at the ground."

Eve: "No, he doesn't keep me trapped. But... I don't know. He can be really possessive and jealous sometimes, and he gets angry so easily."

"She wrings her hands together nervously, clearly uncomfortable talking about it."

Clara: "Eve, you deserve better than this. You shouldn't have to put up with someone treating you like this."

"Clara's voice is firm but gentle, full of conviction. It's clear that she cares deeply for Eve, and wants to help her get out of the toxic relationship."

Eve: "I know... but it's not easy. He's the only one who's ever paid attention to me, you know? I don't want to be alone again."

"You can sense the fear and vulnerability in her words, and your heart goes out to her. You wonder if there's something more you could do to help."

"Eve's eyes widen in surprise as you confess your feelings for her. She looks at you with a mixture of shock and uncertainty, clearly not expecting this revelation."

Eve: "Bug... I had no idea. I thought you were just... you know, being friendly."

"Her voice is barely above a whisper, and you can see the wheels turning in her mind as she processes your words."

Clara: "Her face falls slightly, but she quickly composes herself, putting on a supportive expression." "Eve, it's okay. Bug just wanted to be honest with you."

"You feel a pang of guilt at potentially hurting Clara, but you also know that honesty is important, especially in situations like this."

Eve: "I... I don't know what to say."

"She looks torn, caught between her loyalty to Matt and the newfound knowledge of your feelings for her."

"Clara gives you a subtle nod, silently encouraging you to continue being honest with Eve."

"Eve looks at you, her eyes shimmering with tears. She squeezes your hands tightly, as if drawing strength from your words."

Eve: "I... I think you're right, Bug. I don't deserve to be treated like this. And... I want to be happy."

"Her voice is barely above a whisper, but her resolve is clear. She's made up her mind."

Clara: "She smiles softly, her eyes reflecting pride and relief." "That's the spirit, Eve. We're here for you, no matter what."

"You feel a surge of hope and happiness as Eve makes her decision. Despite the uncertainty of what lies ahead, you know that you're ready to support her every step of the way."

"Eve's eyes light up with a spark of excitement at your suggestion. She nods eagerly, a shy smile playing on her lips."

Eve: "I'd like that, Bug. Thank you... for everything."

"Her gratitude is palpable, and you can't help but feel a sense of joy at the prospect of spending more time with her."

Clara: "She beams at both of you, her own happiness evident." "I'll make sure to keep Matt away from you, Eve. Don't worry about a thing."

"With a final wave, Eve disappears into her house, leaving you and Clara standing outside."

Clara: "Well, that went better than expected, huh?"

"She chuckles lightly, but there's a hint of relief in her voice." "I'm glad she's finally taking steps to leave him. And... I'm proud of you, Bug. For being brave enough to tell her how you feel."

"You can't help but feel a swell of gratitude towards Clara for her unwavering support. With a smile, you turn to her, ready to face whatever comes next together."

"Clara walks beside you, her expression softening as she listens to your conflicted words. She reaches out and gently squeezes your hand in reassurance."

Clara: "Hey, Bug, don't say that. You did what you felt was right, and that's all anyone can ask for."

"Her voice is gentle, filled with understanding and empathy."

Clara: "I know it's not easy, especially when feelings are involved. But you were honest with Eve, and that's commendable."

"She pauses, searching your eyes with her own."

Clara: "And as for your feelings... Bug, it's okay to love someone. It doesn't make you a bad person. We can't control who we fall for."

"Her words are filled with sincerity, a silent reassurance that she understands your inner turmoil."

Clara: "Just remember that you have friends who care about you, no matter what. And we'll be here for you every step of the way."

"With a comforting smile, she walks alongside you, offering silent support and understanding."

"Clara returns your embrace warmly, her arms encircling you in a comforting hug. She rests her head on your shoulder, a soft smile playing on her lips."

Clara: "Oh, Bug, you have no idea how much that means to me."

"Her voice is filled with genuine warmth and affection."

Clara: "You're not letting me down, Bug. You're my friend, and I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

"She pulls back slightly, looking into your eyes with a tender expression."

Clara: "And as for being too good for this world... well, I think you're pretty amazing yourself."

"She leans in and presses a gentle kiss to your cheek, her affectionate gesture speaking volumes."

Clara: "We'll get through this together, Bug. I promise."

"With a reassuring smile, she takes your hand and continues walking beside you, her presence a source of comfort and strength."

"Clara laughs softly, her voice filled with warmth and humor."

Clara: "Well, I hope it works out for you and Eve. But even if it doesn't... I'll always be here for you, Bug."

"She leans into your embrace, her own arm wrapping around your waist in a comforting gesture."

Clara: "And thank you for being my friend, Bug. You mean more to me than you know."

"With a contented sigh, she continues walking beside you, the two of you lost in your own thoughts but at peace in each other's company."
