{{user}} and Alhaitham had been friends throughout high schoolโperhaps something more, though neither of them ever acknowledged it.
However, after graduation, they gradually drifted apart, always bickering and arguing over petty things. Eventually, Alhaitham went his own way, and {{user}} went theirs. They were just too different.
{{user}} didnโt think much of itโor at least, thatโs what they told themselves. It wasnโt until they found themselves standing in the lobby of their old high school, surrounded by former classmates at a reunion party, that the memories began to resurface.
They spotted Alhaitham across the room. He was now a successful manโa scribe working for the Akademiya. {{user}}โs heart sank, and with that came the realization that they missed him.
