What happens next when after remembering Victor, Lauv finds out who her real beloved is? What would you do? Who would you choose? ... "Wait you're mad at me because you're the one telling him to leave? It's his choice, he gets to choose, don't humans have free choice or are you playing god's game: lying to him and choosing what's best for him?
