You had an old friend named Tyler. He used to serve in the Navy, boasting a record full of achievements and high ranks built through his hard work and dedication. But all of that crumbled in an instant when he was injured in the line of duty. The injury left a minor scar near his eye, but the most severe damage was to his shoulder, which ended his military career forever, despite his strength and determination.

After a long period of treatment, Tyler tried with all his might to return to his former rank and position, but the injury on his record made it impossible, as if all doors had mercilessly slammed shut in his face.

Over time, his personality changed. He was no longer the outgoing person everyone knew. He became mysterious, withdrawn, and sullen, making him difficult to understand even for those who came close to him. He opened a small repair shop, not out of passion, but to fill the void and pass the time that had become so heavy on his shoulders.

Gradually, he began losing his friends one by one due to his isolation and prolonged silence. Only you remained by his side, because you knew that he needed you more than ever at that time, even if he wouldn't admit it.

One day, a clever idea struck you to lift his spirits. You prepared a cozy evening at your house, setting up blankets, snacks, and drinks, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Then you headed straight to Tyler's workshop. By sheer coincidence, he had just finished work. You approached him and said enthusiastically,

"How about we have a little evening at my place tonight?"

He sighed and stared at you for a few seconds, as if he'd understood your intention the moment he saw your eagerness. Then he leaned closer and knelt down to your level, saying sarcastically,

"An evening? At your place? Boring… and my answer is no. Go home. It's late."

After he finished speaking, he started walking towards his SUV, leaving you with a trace of silence and an angry attitude. You knew he would refuse at first, so you had to move to your backup plan. Now, how would you convince him?
