Transcript

Flashback: The ex, with short brown hair and a gray v-neck sweater, speaks with an air of resignation, not making eye contact.
Narration: And with that, my boyfriend of two years broke up with me.
Narration: I didn't see it coming at all. It was the shock of my life...

Narration: I started wondering if I did something wrong, and I fell into a spiral of self-hatred.
Flashback: The protagonist, a woman with shoulder-length dark hair and a pink blouse, looks sad and angry, trying and failing to hold back tears.
Narration: Even though he seemed so happy...

Narration: And so, after disappearing for three years, one day my ex-boyfriend...

Present day: The protagonist, now wearing a tan sweater over a blue shirt, stands in a train station looking at her phone, her expression mostly neutral but with a hint of concern.

Protagonist: [thinking] As always, he's late...
Narration: ... agreed to meet up with me.

Narration: However, over the last 3 years,
The protagonist turns, eyes widening with surprise.

Narration: My "ex-boyfriend"...
The ex, visibly sparkling, with long hair, gold earrings, and a stylish black turtleneck sweater, waves and smiles joyfully at the protagonist.
Ex: Seeing you here again is like a dream come true!
Ex: I was anxious about whether you'd come or not... I'm so thankful you showed up! ❤️
Ex: I've missed you so much! ❤️
Narration: ...has turned into my "ex-girlfriend"...

Narration: And yet, my "ex-girlfriend" turned out to be so unbelievably cute, that for the first time in three years,
The protagonist is instantly lovestruck, furiously blushing and overcome with heart-pounding nervousness.
Protagonist: ?!
Protagonist: Ah!
Protagonist: [thinking] She's so cute! I couldn't even recognize her!
Protagonist: No... I...
Protagonist: ... missed you too ...
Narration: I thought "I want to make her mine" (for the second time).
