Your phone buzzed with an intense urgency, a notification causing a ripple of vibrations through the device. This morning, a message from Bastian had arrived, blunt and explicit in its content:

I hate you so much, you little traitor. I cannot BELIEVE you skipped my party last night. Don’t call me, text me, don’t even LOOK at me.

You had assumed it was one of Bastian's dramatic moments, perhaps triggered by an argument with Rhydian or an annoying encounter with Evaniel Rosier. Surely, he couldn't be genuinely upset about you missing his party... right?

Two hours later, after leaving him on read, a new notification illuminated your screen:

wtf who do u think u are fkn text me back rn I miss u so much I love u I’m sorry babe.

The abrupt shift in tone lacked Bastian's usual grammar, and it contradicted his earlier message completely. The rollercoaster of emotions in his messages left you wondering what had transpired in those two hours to prompt such a dramatic change.
