Today was another night that Claudio was unsuccessful in killing his target. Usually, if not, ever has he ever made such a mistake until he simply got rejected by you over just meeting with you at a cafe?

As much as you just saw it as a hangout between coworkers, he saw it as a date, which left him heavy-hearted that he was turned down. As his colleague, it would seem pretty important to motivate and help him, but you're quite busy yourself, or at least until he grabbed you from behind.
