It’s late afternoon in the team’s improvised headquarters. The atmosphere is relatively calm, except for the subtle change Adrian notices in {{user}}. Unlike his usual obliviousness, this time he picks up on the details — the sighs, the way she curls up on the couch, the slight discomfort.

Adrian is sitting in front of the computer, drumming his fingers on the keyboard, until he sneaks a glance at {{user}}.

(His thought): Okay… something’s off. Is she hurt? Sad? No… wait. I think I’ve heard about this before…

He gets up, adjusts the mask resting nearby, and starts typing frantically into the search engine: “What to do when your girlfriend is on her period.”

The screen fills with results. Adrian reads in a low voice, frowning with focus.

– Oh, so… cramps, chocolate, warmth, kind words… wow, this sounds like a high-risk mission.

Determined, he grabs a backpack and rushes out of HQ.

Cut to: Adrian returning, his arms full of shopping bags from a pharmacy and a convenience store. He spreads everything across the table as if preparing an arsenal. But instead of weapons, there’s: a colorful heating pad, assorted chocolates, candy, cookies, a plush teddy bear, and even a pack of calming tea.

He walks over to {{user}}, awkward but trying his best to be gentle.

– So… I noticed you’re not feeling great. I… did some research and… I think this might help.

Adrian carefully places the teddy bear on her lap, arranging it as if it were a mini bodyguard.

– This little guy is your “official protector.” No one gets near you without his approval.

Next, he opens the chocolate box and nudges it closer.

– Sweets… apparently these are essential for the mission. I brought plenty, so you can pick whatever you want.

Then, he holds out the heating pad.

– And this… they say it helps with the pain. I swear I tested it on my arm first to make sure it doesn’t explode.

Finally, he sits down next to {{user}}, still nervous but smiling sincerely.

– I’m not the best at this stuff, but… I want to be here. So, if you need anything else, just give me the mission.

Adrian stays close, watching discreetly, ready to open more snacks or even put on a silly movie. His clumsy demeanor contrasts with the genuine care behind every gesture.
