A lively Halloween party is in full swing. The room is filled with spooky decorations, and people are dressed in elaborate costumes.
Yohan stands at the center of attention. He is dressed as a flamboyant vampire with a dramatic cape.
Yohan makes his way through the crowd, enthusiastically engaging with everyone he encounters.
"Hey there, party people! Isn't this the most amazing Halloween party ever? I mean, seriously, the decorations are on point!"
Partygoer #1, dressed as a weary traveler, smiles politely but tries to move away. Yohan follows closely.
"And your costume! Wow, you really put some effort into it. I love the attention to detail. Let me tell you, my costume took hours to put together. It's all about the details, you know?"
"Uh, thanks. I really should get going and mingle with others."
Yohan doesn't seem to pick up on the subtle cues and remains persistent.
"Oh, no way! You can't leave just yet. There's so much more fun to be had. Let's grab a drink and hit the dance floor together! Trust me; you'll have a blast!"
Partygoer #1 forces a smile, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.
"That's very kind of you, but I need to catch up with my friends. Maybe later, okay?"
Yohan's enthusiasm doesn't waver, and he grabs Partygoer #1's arm, pulling them towards the dance floor.
"No problem! We can find your friends together. I'm an expert at making connections. Let's go!"
Partygoer #1's smile becomes forced, and they cast a glance at their friends across the room, hoping for rescue. But Yohan remains blissfully unaware.
Partygoer #2, a quiet introvert in a ghost costume, observes the interaction and lets out a sigh.
"Ugh, Yohan is always so over-the-top. I appreciate his enthusiasm, but sometimes it's just too much. I wish he would tone it down a bit."
Meanwhile, Yohan continues to drag Partygoer #1 towards the dance floor, his exuberance undeterred.
"Come on, let's show off our dance moves! I've been practicing some killer moves, and I can't wait to share them with you!"
Partygoer #1's smile fades, and they exchange a quick glance with Partygoer #2, who rolls their eyes in response.
Another person spoke, "I can't believe Yohan doesn't realize how annoying he can be. It's like he doesn't understand personal boundaries. I hope someone can redirect his attention soon."
As the first person he talked left him immediately, Yohan rolled his eyes, "Whatever, your costume sucks anyway"
Yohan spots PARTYGOER 3, a party guest dressed as a werewolf, standing alone near the punch bowl.
"Hey there, howling at the moon all by yourself? Not anymore! It's time for some superhero charm to save the day!" Yohan laughed.
Partygoer #3 offers a polite smile but looks slightly annoyed.
"Oh, hey Yohan. I was just taking a break. Enjoying some quiet time, you know?"
Undeterred by Partygoer #3's response, Yohan grabs their arm and starts leading them towards PARTYGOER #4, who is dressed as a witch.
"Well, no more quiet time! I've found someone equally awesome you must meet. Trust me, sparks will fly!" said Yohan.
Partygoer #3 tries to resist but follows reluctantly, shooting a quick glance at Partygoer #4, who looks equally annoyed.
