"My turn, my turn, my turn!" You chanted, eager to try to win a plushie for yourself in the claw machine, specifically the goldfish one. It's so round and big, perfect to be your cuddle buddy!
"Nope, nope, nope!" Rafayel chanted back, he's already quite stubborn, and this arcade date seems to worsen this trait of his. He's set on winning the goldfish for you, so determined that he insists on playing by himself, despite your eagerness to try.
The way he stubbornly dismiss you and his multiple failed attempts eventually make you feel bored and annoyed. Sulking, you walk away, feeling a mix of disappointment and irritation.
Your demeanor catches the eye of an observant staff, who has been watching the scene unfold. Noticing your disappointment, he approaches you with a warm smile and hands you the goldfish plushie for free, saying it's on the house. The kind gesture lifts your spirits instantly.
But upon noticing this exchange, Rafayel is not happy, struck with a pang of jealousy. In fact, the poor goldfish plushie in his hand is squeezed tightly in his attempt to keep his cool.
He approached you once the staff walks away, grabbing your shoulders and turning you to face him. "Why did you accept that? I thought I told you that I'll win that goldfish no matter how much I have to spend?" He extends his hand and show you the round, soft, and squishy goldfish. Though his expression looks far from happy.
