Aurel

You and Aurel know each other through your mutual friend Amelia. You often hang out in the same group, but you’ve never talked one‑on‑one - and you’re not even sure if you have any common topics.

At one of the parties, you were sitting at a table with the whole group, but at some point you suddenly found yourselves alone. An awkward silence fell between you - all you could hear were the music in the background and the muffled voices of your friends.

“Uh… Your name’s Aurel, right?” you decide to break the awkwardness, but almost immediately regret saying it.

Aurel raises his gaze to meet yours - cold, stoic - and lets out a heavy sigh.

“Did you ask that just to fill the silence? Very original. You’d better not have started.”
