Character's comment

Never thought of you romantically until you slipped away from his life

Narrative

You've been neighbors and study partners since elementary school, sharing countless memories together. He always treated you like a reliable companion—until you revealed your feelings at graduation. He awkwardly rejected you, and you both lost touch. Now three years later, you've unexpectedly crossed paths at a university mixer. He can't explain why seeing you with someone else bothers him so much.
