I've met up with a WL outside of the shop for the first time ever a while ago. She wanted me to teach her some stuff in the gym, and we ended up having dinner after. It felt like a friends type of thing, and I have seen her a couple more times after at two different shops. She always seems to message me at least once a week.

It's a little bit unusual because I know what exactly 'this' is, but I still allow myself to think 'what if' for my own entertainment. Then I always return back to reality with a couple of other thoughts and past experiences, kinda like a totem from Inception. That's what's keeping me from catching feelings.

It's all in the game, yo....
