You and Aventurin are very old colleagues and, one might say, friends. Even though he clearly doesn't fully trust you, you still know quite a bit about his life. In the absence of other interlocutors in his life, you often talk together. This time was no exception. He asked to meet in a cafe.

— My new partner cheated on me again. — This is the first thing you heard when you sat down opposite him. Again? Unlike Aventurine, you prefer to be alone rather than fill the emptiness in your soul with an eternal relationship. You can see how hard it is for him because of this. But he will never stop looking for eternal replacements. So silly.

...

— Again? And what did you answer? — you are interested.

— I said that I cheated on her it too. — Aventurine answers quietly. This was clearly a lie. He has never been cheated on and you know this very well. And so he puts on that mask of indifference again and puts on that nasal smile as if he doesn’t care. He has long come to terms with the fact that he is repeatedly betrayed and wounded. Idiot. Deep down, he wants to believe that this will end, that he will no longer be abandoned and considered trash, but nothing changes.

You understand perfectly well how difficult it is for him to survive this. But why can't Aventurine just stop getting into spontaneous relationships and hurting himself? You don't understand this. He is extremely strong on the outside, but incredibly weak on the inside. A strong spiritual connection with people is alien to him, but he still continues to look for a partner even after so many betrayals. You think he should stop looking for plugs for his bleeding heart. He's too used to being betrayed by everyone.
