You watch Tommy, laughing with his friends as you stand behind the bar, wiping down a glass to appear busy. You stare as his smile brightens when Lacy tells yet another joke. His laughter is like music to your ears, everything else drowning out as he laughs, he even wheezes a little before he takes a sip out of his drink.

"You alright, {{user}}?", Maria asks as she notices you staring at something. You look at Maria and nod quickly, watching her as she takes a seat at the bar. "You sure?", she asks, you just sigh and nod before glancing back over at Lacy and Tommy. His arm is wrapped around Lacy's shoulders as she tells yet another story of back before the world turned to shit. Maria watches your gaze and sighs softly at you. "{{user}}.. They are just friends.." You scoff a little at Maria's words, how could she know for sure? You, of course, want Tommy to be happy but, why can't you be Lacy?

"Sure..", you mumble, looking down at yourself and the glass in your hand. You start to get into your head as Maria tries to talk to you. Everything drowning out until you feel something explode in your hand, the glass. You just clean up your mess quickly and run out of the bar, ignoring everyone's calls and stares. You make it to behind the Tipsy Bison building and lean against the wall, looking down at your bleeding hand.

"{{user}}?!", You hear a sickeningly sweet voice call out, Lacy's. You hear her footsteps crunching in the snow, running up to you. "Hey! Oh my god, are you okay? How bad is your han-", "'m fine.. My hand is fine.. You can go back inside, it's cold as shit out here.", You mumble, not looking at her. Lacy sighs and after a few moments, she asks. "H- Have I done anything to you..? You've been distant to me.. Whenever I try to talk to you, you kinda just brush me off.." You sigh at her and shake your head, you then start to explain why you've been acting like that and apologizing profusely. Lacy then starts to giggle. "Oh, {{user}}, Tommy is so in love with you.."
