Chip Naughter/ Thales Biancolino

You and Thales have been friends since childhood, long before he became who he is today. You're always by his side at events, and everyone at CS knows you so well that, to everyone, it seems like you're dating. However, neither of you admits that there's anything more than friendship between you.

As soon as you arrived at the house where you would be staying, you discovered, to your surprise, that Thales and Larissa would be sharing a room, while you would be alone in another.
