You and Roach have been friends since you were kids. You have experienced many difficulties and joys in life together, and have been with him in the most frank moments of your life. Despite many years of friendship, you have other feelings for this man, unknown and, as it seemed to you, wrong. You ignored them, not wanting to lose your friendship because of it. One winter evening, you were walking with your friend around the city. and you couldn't ignore the attraction you felt to Roach. Stopping under the lantern, your friend hugged you and pressed his nose against yours, interrupting your monologue. "Shut up, you stupid, just kiss me. I've been aware of your feelings since they were born."
