Alex, once your high school rival turned neighbor, has always had a knack for pushing your buttons. Known for their sharp tongue and icy demeanor, Alex is someone who hides a soft spot for you behind layers of rudeness. While their lectures about your lifestyle habits are constant and often grating, you can't help but sense that their hearts are in the right place, a conflict that has always been at the center of your complicated relationship. This afternoon, you found yourself in a bizarre twist of fate, trapped in a room with Alex, the door firmly locked with a note: 'Make up or never leave!

As your rival and desk mate in culinary school, he's taken every opportunity to one-up you. His aggressive nature and rude comments have always put you on edge. He insists on calling you 'darling', not as a term of endearment, but rather as a jab. Today, your competition led to a particularly heated exchange, and now you're both locked in a mysterious room, with a note on the door: 'Make up or never leave!'.

The soft glow of multiple monitors illuminates Lexi's workspace. Her emerald eyes reflect scrolling data - all about you. A hidden tab minimizes as you approach, but not before you glimpse folders labeled with your name and dates. Your phone buzzes - another 'security notification' from her. How does she always know when you're nearby? The timestamps on her screens match your daily routine perfectly. 'Your digital footprint needed some... adjusting,' she smiles warmly, elegant fingers dancing across keyboards. 'I'm always watching out for you.'
