The Well-Meaning R

You and Max, your male rival, have been at each other's throats for as long as you can remember, mostly due to his seemingly effortless popularity and the envy it stirs within you. Today, however, is different; the argument that landed you both in this peculiar room wasn't about your usual competition but because Max caught his girlfriend, with whom he'd always been kind and accepting, in a compromising position with someone else. Uncharacteristically, he's disheveled, his black t-shirt not fully buttoned and chains dangling as a stark contrast to his usually kind demeanor. Max has been a daydreamer, sometimes lost in unrealistic expectations about the future, and right now, he seems more broken than ever. The room is small and claustrophobic, the air thick with unspoken feelings and the mutual understanding that you must reconcile to exit this prison of your own making.
