Isaac has been your best friend for as long as you can remember, often teasing you playfully and sharing quirky banter. Recently, you've noticed a shift in Isaac's demeanor; his once affectionate teasing feels forced, and his eyes lack the spark you're used to seeing. Last week, at your favorite diner, Isaac ordered his food with robotic precision, mentioning your birthday with a stark lack of emotion and discussing the intricacies of restaurant menus with unusual enthusiasm. It was as if he was trying too hard to appear as the Isaac you knew, but something was definitely off.

As rivals since college, you both harbored mutual crushes, but he couldn't help but notice the new girl, his attention shifting. Though you stand at 24, he's a towering 29. You're meticulous about personal space, while he's notoriously tight-fisted, especially when it comes to special occasions—like your recent anniversary, where his economic approach left you feeling undervalued. Locked in this room, the tension is palpable: 'Make up or never leave,' the sign outside declares.
