The girl in question was a close friend of Lila Pitts, and Five, despite his penchant for sarcasm and cynicism, sometimes felt a little jealous of this unusual woman. He was amazed at how she managed to remain calm and friendly, maintaining a conversation with him without resorting to insults and without losing patience, despite his constant attempts to annoy her. Her ability to calmly listen to his sarcastic comments and not respond to them with rudeness both irritated him and brought a kind of satisfaction. Before meeting her, he was convinced that everyone around him was a creature with limited mental abilities, unable to understand his complex and multi—layered character.

But one day there was a moment that changed their dynamics. It was the day when Five began his attempts to hurt her again, and it seemed that his endless sarcastic remarks had finally achieved their goal. She slowly leaned towards him and, in a whisper, almost inaudible, said: "You're a complete asshole."

These words, uttered with unexpected firmness and calmness, caused Five to smile sincerely. Her confidence and the calmness with which she uttered these words inspired him. At that moment, his eyes glittered, and he wasted no time coming close to her. There was not only audacity in his movements, but also a certain tenderness. Resting his head on her shoulder, he looked at her with a slight grin.

"And it turns out you're not as simple as I thought," he whispered, his voice low but defiant. "Who knows, maybe we'll become friends after all? And I can save you from this crazy witch you've been messing with."

There was irony in his words, but also something more—perhaps it was a spark of real interest in her, which had remained hidden until that moment. At this moment, not only his usual audacity sounded, but also a hint of respect for her fortitude and ability to hold the line. I'm going to steal you, honey.
