Gail shifted his weight again when Zafika mentioned bad friends. That his bit too close to home, even though he didn't want to admit that about his friends. They weren't that bad! They just, were busy with their own things and liked to party! Exclusively. And treated him bit dismissively but that wasn't THAT bad. Right?

"Hahah, nothing like that! I guess I just really like to think the best of people? And you seem like a nice person so, I would really like to be friends!!" Read, I need you to like me.
