In his room, Y/N sat deeply focused, his brow furrowed in concentration. The issue of managing his relationships felt like a puzzle with too many pieces, each shaped differently than he expected. He reached for his notebook, where he often sorted his thoughts more clearly through lists and diagrams.

Meanwhile, Angel Dust lounged at the bar, idly twirling a cocktail umbrella between his fingers while Husk expertly mixed drinks. Nearby, Niffty dashed around, her movements a blur as she energetically crushed bugs with a needle.

Velvette strutted into the lobby, phone pressed to her ear as she announced her plans.
Velvette: Yeah, Vox, I'll call you back. I've got a date with Mr. Man of the Hour.

Velvette: Hey? Angel. You or...whatever your name is, seen Y/N. We've got big plans tonight!
Angel Dust: You gonna start another prono with him in it?
Velvette: No. For fuck sake. You ever gonna let that go.
Angel Dust: No.
Velvette grumbled.
Velvette: For your information, I'm taking him out to dinner and then a movie.
Just then there was an explosion at the wall. Cherri Bomb walked in.
