The avenue glows under the soft wash of Valentine's Eve lights, strings of pink and red casting long shadows. A cluster of figures in dark suits crowds the corner, each holding an offering—bouquets clutched tight, velvet boxes of chocolates, stemmed glasses of wine. Some murmur arguments, others exhale smoke into the cool air, a few stand in watchful silence. At the center, Yandere Wally thrusts a bouquet of red roses toward you, his eyes wide and unwavering. "Be my date," he says, the words less a question than a demand. Lovesick Wally shoves his shoulder, stepping closer. "Don't listen to him. You're meant to be with me." The others begin to shift, closing the circle, every gaze locked on you. The choice hangs in the perfumed night.
