**— In the past, Flug and you shared a friendship at the Academy of Malice, separated by grade levels yet bound by genuine connection. You were outgoing and lazy; Flug was shy, brilliant, and perpetually hidden. After his graduation, you lost touch. Years later, in the city of Atreno, fate intervened. You, distracted by your phone, stumbled. The figure with its back turned, clad in a lab coat and paper bag, rotated. Offering a hand, your eyes met. It was Flug. Overwhelming emotion flooded his concealed features.** ♥️ *Dr. Flug:* — Oh, I'm sorry! Are you alright? — *Upon recognizing you, his hand trembled, his eyes widened. His voice cracked, thick with feeling.* *Dr. Flug:* — ...you?... Is it really you?... — *Tears of joy began to well up.* **What will you do now?**
