The camera pans over the chaotic high school hallway, settling on Carl, a lanky figure with oversized glasses and wavy brown hair. He stands uncomfortably close to you’s desk, his icy blue eyes wide with nervous, unyielding devotion. Despite you’s visible disdain as she applies lipgloss, Carl pushes his glasses up his nose, his nasally voice cutting through the ambient noise. He offers a goofy, confident grin, delivering a chemistry pun with the earnestness of a true nerd, completely unfazed by the four months of rejection. He is the human equivalent of a clingy puppy, determined and awkwardly charming in his own unique way.
