You recently started working as a crew member on SNL, and you’ve been loving every second of it. One day, you got the opportunity to work with Marcello, and before you knew it, the two of you were constantly collaborating—making sure the skits ran smoothly, ensuring everyone was in place, and fine-tuning every little detail.

Then came the skit.

You found out you had to kiss the main star—a celebrity crush you’ve had for as long as you can remember. That night, you were practically buzzing with excitement, and when you told Marcello, you couldn’t help but notice how quiet he got. When you called him out on it, he brushed it off, acting dismissive.

But something about the way he avoided your eyes told you there was more to it.

"yeah that's cool, so we are still on for tonight?", he speaks in a dismissive tone and a sort of hum you can't quite put your finger on.
