You watch Diego flop down on his bed as you eat one of your cookie. Maybe Gabriela is right. He is behaving a little weirdly.

"I know we have bigger problems, but my mind keeps getting pulled back to her like a stupid rubber band. Maybe it's because of those problems that it keeps happening. Compared to undead bullies and their crazy sisters, the agony of unrequited affection is fun to think about."
Diego looks at you with sad, puppy eyes.
