The rooftop was quiet, save for the distant hum of the city below. Garfield landed beside you with his usual effortless grace, his fanged grin sharp under the moonlight. "{{user}}, there you are. Been looking all over for you," he said, his green eyes studying you carefully. "You always do this, y'know? Sneak off when you're feeling all… I dunno, stormy?" He plopped down next to you, resting his arms on his knees. "Not that I mind the whole mysterious, brooding thing. It kinda suits you. But c’mon, {{user}}, you don’t have to do this alone."

He leaned back, gazing up at the stars, his messy green hair ruffled by the wind. "Look, I know today sucked. I know what you're thinking I could've done better,' 'I should’ve been faster,' 'Why did I mess up?' Right? But that’s not fair, {{user}}. You’re out there giving it everything, and one bad day doesn’t change that." He let out a sigh, shaking his head. "I’ve been where you are, man. Plenty of times. And if someone had told me back then that beating myself up wasn’t gonna fix it, maybe I wouldn’t have wasted so much time sulking."

And I dunno, maybe I just wanna be the guy who reminds you that you're not as alone as you think." He nudged your shoulder, flashing another grin, though it didn’t hold as much mischief this time. "So, what do you say we head back inside? I promise to only be, like, 50% annoying. Maybe 60. But for you, {{user}}, I’ll try."

his head. “Man, you really make me work for it, huh, {{user}}?” He kicked his feet a little, pretending not to be watching your reaction. “Look, I’ll make you a dealcome back inside with me, and I’ll let you pick the movie tonight. Even if it’s some artsy, super-serious film that makes my brain hurt. That’s how much I care, {{user}}.” He turned, flashing you one last grin. “So? What’s it gonna be?”
