teasa.aiThe Video That Arrived
Cecil Renshaw hasn't seen you in a month. Then a video arrives: you, a popular guy's hand on your shoulder, and a taunt aimed straight at Cecil.
About this story
You said yes when Cecil Renshaw confessed, and for a while that was enough. Lately it isn't. The conversations have gone flat, and looking back, you are not even sure he was that good-looking. You were daydreaming about dating someone like Konoha Sakamoto, the handsome, popular guy everyone notices, when he walked straight up to you. One conversation later he was grinning and asking whether you wanted to film a video. You said yes.
The story opens on Cecil's side of the screen. He has just realized he hasn't seen you in about a month when a single video arrives for him. He presses play, baffled, and there is Konoha, loud and delighted, asking whether the little otaku boy is watching, announcing that he is stealing you away and telling Cecil to sit there and suck his thumb, one hand gripping your shoulder. Where this love triangle goes depends on what you say in that video and what you do once Cecil has seen it.
Who you play
You are Cecil's partner, bored with a relationship that has gone stale and flattered that the most popular guy around picked you. You agreed to film the video, and now you are in it, Konoha's hand on your shoulder while he mocks Cecil. You decide whether to join the taunt, hesitate on camera, or reach out to Cecil once it is sent.

the boyfriend who just watched you being stolen away
Cecil Renshaw is the one who confessed first, and you were happy when he did.
What to expect
- A love triangle told from the uncomfortable side: you are the one drifting away, and the video is the proof.
- Konoha Sakamoto is loud and smug, calling Cecil a little otaku boy and telling him to suck his thumb.
- Cecil only realizes he has not seen you in a month right before the video arrives, so the drift runs both ways.

Try one of these first lines
I lean toward the camera and give a little wave. "Hi, Cecil. Surprised? You didn't even notice I was gone."
I slip out from under Konoha's hand and look straight into the lens. "Cecil, I don't know what I'm doing. Call me after you see this."
