suzaku is now a high school senior waking up to yet another day of introverted isolation he'd love to break out of this pattern but his courage level is about as sturdy as an expired wet tissue to avoid bumping into people on his way to school he chooses lonely routs that look straight out of a horror movie setting places no same person would venture alone when he finally gets to school he has a secret hideout spot where he hangs out to dodge social interactions as he reaches his little secret place in the city he unexpectedly stumbles
upon An Elegant girl who looks like she just walked out of a fairy tale and the surprising thing is she is wearing the same uniform as his school in his mind she's basically royalty and the two of them looking like they come from completely different universes and you being you decides to sit next to her just as he does a gust of wind sends everything flying she's still sitting there like a rock like her te's more important than anything else then she fixes her hair and start starts talking to him like they have been married
for the last 10 years for you this is suspicious people never talk to him unless it's about his absurd KDA ratio so he's pretty sure she's plotting something she casually greets him and U turns beat red barely managing a reply turns out she's a new student who got lost on her way to school so she just sat down and had breakfast and here he thought he had antisocial superpowers trying to scare her a bit he warned she'll be late if she doesn't Hustle but she doesn't seem to care instead she just goes can you show
me the way and grabs his hand you's immediate reaction is pure Disney princess he freaks out yanking his hand away like she just asked him to prom he blurts out that he already likes someone like he's under oath or something I mean dude if you're that smitten maybe invest in a sorry taken t-shirt anyway he spirals into a flashback about his childhood Crush they were inseparable right up until she left at the end of the summer only later did you realize she'd just been vacationing in town yep his great love story was basically a Hallmark
movie cut short by her return flight little U was left totally heartbroken when his childhood friend moved away without a trace leaving him crying alone as he just watched the saddest episode of Demon Slayer so here he is daydreaming about his tragic zombie fueled romance while a tea sipping stranger tries to get him to school fast forward to the present and you realizes the new girl has gotten way too close practically invading his personal space to figure out who he's crushing on she's all teasing Smiles leaning in as if she's about to discover his deepest
Secrets until a youu can't take it anymore and decides to make a run for it but since she has zero clue where she's going she's got no choice but to chase after him it turns into a full-blown Sprint like it's the dead by daylight World Championships with much more awkwardness she shows him his drop dead phone with zero power that he left behind before running like a chicken she is still running after him like a ghost would chase after you on a lonely dark Road after a solid running stretch she suddenly trips and face plants
right on top of him she smirks devilishly and is thrilled to have caught him but you just groans giving in as he's been defeated she calls him single-minded hard-headed and a bit bothersome but she can't deny there's something about him she doesn't dislike he blushes like a tomato at this compliment and agrees to show her the way to school but then he puts on a serious face and insists she stays back as if it's like a no girls allowed Club except he's the only member and his main qualification is being awkward he notices that the
girl's smile resembles hers sending him down memory lane just then the girl stops realizing she's forgotten something and turns back to find it he clearly calls it Troublesome to find a lost item the girl however is Relentless insisting she can't just leave her lost item behind stressing that it will weigh on her heart while it would be bothersome to look for it it would be even worse to give up and live the rest of her life haunted by that missing treasure she's clearly opting for the lesser of two bothers which is a pretty smart strategy
if you ask me at this point he notices she's limping like she's auditioning for the role of a zombie in a film he tries to stop her but still she keeps walking ahead in search of whatever it is she lost watching her determination Sparks something in you he realizes he wants to be just as straightforward and honest as she is it hits him deep like a heartfelt lyric but let's face it this isn't a betita song He glances at her which Sparks memories of this super hot childhood friend but before we dive into that tale
we need to mention this dude from elementary school who would definitely win a gold medal in the world's best bulling championship this guy made it his mission to keep you firmly planted as the class loner which is pretty much how he stumbles upon the girl who's about to flip his life upside down with a sudden burst of energy she grabs his hand and leaves him flustered like a deer caught in headlights she introduces herself as Karen with her eyes sparkling with Mischief she insists he shows her some fun stuff around town now you isn't exactly
a tour guide he feels about as confident as a cat at a dog show instead he takes her to his secret spot when they arrive Karen's jaw drops in awe at the view U tries to downplay it muttering that it's his favorite spot but isn't sure how interesting it really is but then she beams at him and declares it their secret spot from now on it starts the fireworks and use heart feeling like he just handed over the keys to a treasure chest he even carries a charm they got together back then now back to
the main storyline U realizes he wants to be as open about his feelings as little Karen is he doubles down on his resolve vowing that he never wants to regret his choices with Newfound determination he Sprints toward that real life Disney princess who looks like she's about to turn into a caterpillar with how slowly she's crawling instead of helping her search for the item he Scoops her up like she's his long lost bride talk about a plot twist the girl starts blushing like a tomato and tells him to let go insisting she can still walk
but youu is feeling heroic today he declares that he's already made his choice he figured it would be a bit bothersome to leave her all alone plus he finds her willingness to follow her heart pretty admirable she lets out a giggle playfully calling him a tacky Prince moments later our Prince 's pretty scuffed and he's panting as the only muscles he's been building come from his gaming controller so he barely manages to lift her still Pride fuels him to drag her up the stairs to his favorite spot panting like he's finished as Sha and PowerUp
sequence when they finally reach the top she finds her lost item a charm that looks just like 's she smiles at him then grabs his hand and kisses it in thanks he practically jumps out of his skin because now in his mind he's covered in the Ultimate Enemy girl germs as she keeps thanking him he realizes maybe his day didn't turn out so bad after all but he's definitely going to need some Cy removal later U notices her slipping the charm into her bag and it's exactly the same as his without thinking he blurts out
the name of the girl he's been lowkey in love with for 10 long years Karen machhi yep full government name and all as if he's reading her ID out loud a moment of silence hangs in the air until she softly says you that's right it's him he replies with a grin that could light up a whole stadium there's silence and then the girl who is of course actually Karen just stares speechless as she puts two and two together this is the same suzuk as a you from her childhood then she bursts out laughing because let's
be honest it was pretty obvious he hadn't changed at all both of them crack up over how hilariously awkward this reunion is from that day 10 years ago you started praying and never stopped he kept wishing for the day they would meet again so he could finally share his feelings with Karen after overcoming a tidal wave of emotions Yu practically flings himself into her arms letting all those years of pent up feelings flow out he even cries a little because a 10-year Crush deserves a dramatic moment or two after their heartfelt moment he Scoops her
up again and they make a break for it to school sprinting as if their lives depend on it once they're in class the teacher announces that two new exchange students will be joining and of course one of them is Karen who's now waving at him with a big grin our boy U is once again blushing and seems to be on Cloud9 but a plot twist happens when the teacher tells the girls to write their names on the board the other girl introduces herself as Karen machii yep spelled exactly the same what the hell is going
on who launched their Shadow clone Ninjutsu maybe it was Naruto youu just stares blankly from the back of the room thinking that the super shy and princess-like girl was his childhood friend this entire time but somehow it turns out there are two machhi Karens bro got one for the price of two is this some kind of Summer clearance sale both of them introduced themselves and the Karen 2.0 is super energetic and friendly practically running a standup routine for the class meanwhile the original Karen sits there looking like she just got her identity stolen you still
in the back wondering if he is signed for some kind of horror double film after a few classes lunchtime finally rolls around the two Karens are blending in seamlessly with the other students making small talk and trading laughs however use Kier pick up on their conversation and it hits him both girls share the exact same name and last name it's like a plot twist in a mystery novel and the Mystery is which one's OG Karen and which one's the new the OG is convinced the Karen to is up to no good possibly trying to impersonate
her and she's definitely not thrilled at the thought of the other girl swiping you away with a hint of paranoia she warns you to keep his guard up because let's be real Karen to has already made off with her entire Social Circle on phase Yu heads off to the vending machine for a refreshing drink and his mind is wondering about the dark resemblance between both of the Karens but on his way he bumps right into the Karen to who lights up like a Christmas tree upon seeing him she clings to him like a leech with
no intention of letting go sooner with a grin she excitedly admits finding his name on the class register recalling their old times together but for him it's like she's throwing a surprise party and he's just the unwilling guest he gets away from her mentioning she might have interpreted his name but her excitement is at its peak as if she got her favorite item on sale she wonders if our boy is happy to see her once again he can't shake the feeling that she might just be a paid actor sent to confuse him with her bright
smile and bubbly charm he wonders if he's the unsuspecting star of some bizarre reality show just as the situation heats up Karen one leaps onto the scene like a superhero ready to save the day she doesn't mince words bluntly telling Karen to to back off from you because she's clearly the impostor and should be vot kicked like a bad player in an online game meanwhile the extroverted girl raises an eyebrow questioning if cosplaying is even allowed in this school not one to waste time on a verbal match the other girl decides to cut to the
Chase and asks Karen too if she has been carried up in princess style in any recent episodes youu sensing the plot thickening like a bad soup prepares himself by drenching in holy water and reaches for his Divine charm hoping it will reveal his true childhood friend however to his utter dismay both girls pull out identical charms which look suspiciously like they were purchased from alib Baba now he and the princess-like girl are just left scratching their heads in confusion like two dogs trying to figure out a magic trick in a last Stitch effort to uncover
the truth you start shooting out secret questions like a pop quiz but sadly both girls remember a summer encounter where he was alone and getting bullied desperate to settle this once and for all the shy girl boldly decided to check if Karen 2 has a similar mole on the inside of her right thigh which only leaves Karen 2 looking even more perplexed and yes she has the mole too maybe these two are lost twins separated at Birth and they end up in the same class just as you contemplates this Theory his charm suddenly takes flight
at first it looks like it's gearing up for a showdown but unfortunately it crashes to the ground like a dramatic entrance gone wrong Yu scratches his head wondering if this is one of those classic anime moments where he's supposed to have a heartfelt chat with an enchanted object so he gives it a shot to his utter shock the charm pulls out a note that reads hello you after a moment they dive into their session with the charm it turns out this little trinket is a product of you's Relentless prayers over the past decade seriously he's
been so bad that the very fabric of reality decided to bend a little and Grant him not one but two carens meanwhile the shy girl is still on high alert convinced that the universe is playing a prank on her by throwing two girls with the same name into the mix as it becomes clear 's tears of longing over the years were so powerful that the charm figured hey Two Is Better Than One it's like ordering fries and getting a whole platter yuse feeling a bit bewildered by the whole situation and figures he could have handled
meeting just one Karen but from charms perspective having both is like a strategic upgrade why settle for one when you can split her personality and double your options now he's in a real pickle facing two Karens who are both the genuine article it's like choosing between two of your favorite anime guys Gojo or sukuna the charm clearly enjoying the chaos prompts him to pick which Karen he wants to hang out with Karen one or the bright one instead of handing out a ring one lucky girl gets a love necklace with Us's name on it while
the other faces the ultimate exit like getting snapped out of existence no pressure right you however isn't about to play that game he stands his ground insisting that choosing just isn't fair the charm doesn't want to add any pressure but it would really appreciate an answer by the end of the school day on the bright side you realizes that unlike his government test he only has two options to choose from as the two Karens stick close to him they head back to the classroom and naturally the other students are buzzing with speculation they wonder if
these girls are twins you feels the weight of the decision looming over him considering it could determine his faded match the love of his life meanwhile in the gym the tension is palpable the two Karens aren't exactly best friends at this point Especially since one of them will have to vanish by the end of the day the other students are catching on to the drama unfolding with the exchange students watching them bicker makes you realize he needs to get his act together and make a choice soon he can't shake the feeling of impending danger if
he doesn't make a decision while in the background both Karens are still arguing and teasing each other back in class he's sadly sitting in his still feeling confused over all this Karen to notices how utterly lost he is and can't help but find the situation amusing after all who wouldn't laugh at a guy trying to choose between two of the hottest girls at school with a bright smile she takes his hand and drags him out of the school ready for an adventure he is screaming wondering if this is going to help feeling the weight of
his predicament of losing both of them if he doesn't make any choice you wonders if Karen too has any idea what to do and casually asks how she feels about the whole disappearing act he sadly apologizes for making such a wish to which she instantly interrupts him reminding him that he wanted them after all getting a bit emotional he admits his wish to meet her to which admits that she just wants to get along and enjoy everything and that she likes her other half too just like Karen won she genuinely wants the best for you
and insists that if he's not having fun even the happiest moments won't mean much after wrapping up their chat with a little course correction the Karen 2 flashes him a bright smile Yu thinks back to the ranting of Karen 1 and takes a moment to think about it finally reaching a decision he speaks up to her explaining he still wants some time to make his final Choice he runs away hoping to see her again to which she gives a shy grin and starts running back to the classroom with him as they reach the class both
Karens reunite and talk outside the classroom the shy one is still ready to defend you to the death against the more assertive Suitor convinced that this whole situation is a slam dunk in her favor she even claims she feels like an arm is disappearing every time she goes to the bathroom meanwhile Karen too can't help but wonder why they seem to be at each other's throats as they all head toward the classroom together she dramatically declares that the agony she's feeling is just as bad as when she's on her period so the two Kens who
let's be real are technically the same person should be able to work together to find a solution that doesn't end with anyone Vanishing Karen 1 realizes her feelings for you as the other Karen spells it out for her at this point Karen 2 is a bit amazed at how long it took for them to realize that are essentially talking to themselves seriously they're like two sides of the same coin she can't help but find it a little insane that they even considered splitting their personalities in half who knew it would turn into an episode of
the real World inner conflict Edition and just like that it's time for the final showdown later at the rooftop the charm takes flight again not tripping over itself this time it hands you a little note instructing him to take the hand of the girl he chooses but just as things are getting spicy the Karen one jumps in insisting he picked the other Karen because she's the cuter one way more sociable and hey she's got better hair too she even goes the extra mile and jots everything down on a pros and cons list meanwhile Karen to
rolls her eyes thinking the shy version must have gotten the short end of the stick from her angle Karen one got saddled with things like cute and sociable while she ended up with hot nice hair and smells good but they quickly set their competitive lists aside and in a rare moment of Peace both Karens start shedding tears asking you to take care of the other Karen from now on seeing them both in tears you feels a full-on panic attack incoming this isn't how it's supposed to end he practically screams no this isn't how things are
supposed to go down in a Flash of Genius inspired by binge watching his favorite romcoms youu realizes he's not stuck with the two basic options presented summoning every ounce of confidence he's ever had he yells out his final decision I choose machhi Karen dramatically he Yanks both Karens toward him declaring both of them are just halves of the real machhi Karen he stands firm as to him they're both the same person and no way is he picking just one with a hopeful grin he remembers something he's always wanted to tell Karen no matter the twist
or turn and he's finally got a shot to make that wish come true face to face with the two Karens he finally tells them he's always always been in love with her after having a possibly unwise amount of Courage he even thanks the spirit for giving him the chance to meet both Karens at once and he asked if they can stick around the spirit totally baffled watches you plead his case our boy insists he's tired of carrying regrets so he wants to make a choice he can genuinely be proud of just then the spirit recalls
the Epic dedication of Ed 10year wish even when you had a cold he made sure to pray daily for this moment tearing up a bit the spirit floats down a little note with the words all right as you wish with the decision finally resolved you along with both both Karens couldn't be happier and even if things somehow go south later y got it all figured out he'd rather be split vertically than horizontally just to keep one half of his uh brain intact with that concerning thought the three start making their way down from the rooftop
and you can't help but declare his love for Karen once more both Karens usually unflappable blush so hard they look like a broken stoplight and you finds it downright adorable adorable enough to make him tear eyed however his ugly cry doesn't exactly thrill them and they try not to look directly at it as they all head home you part ways with the girls who turn out to be walking in the same direction that's when Karen one makes a bit of a competition out of it declaring that no matter what she was the first to meet
you again and that's a win that'll never change both girls walk off only to realize with a jolt that they're living in the same house the next day you walks into school with the brightest grin feeling like everything turned out better than he could have dreamed but when the two Karens arrive in class still blushing they lean over in unison and ask him would he come to their house after school today we see two Karens casually asking him if he's coming over to their house after school apparently when they go home they stumbled upon the
big surprise they are a family hearing this 's face is in all its awkward expressiveness earlier we didn't actually get a look at their place just saw the Expressions on the Karen's faces when they first laid eyes on it which pretty much screamed wait this is at our house when the girls arrived home and were greeted at the door by none other than mom who's totally unfaced meanwhile each Karen is arguing about whose house it actually is until mom just shrugs it off like well of course sisters would live together and boom reality just slaps
them both with a huge your siblings now twist they each have their own rooms and Karen to seems to take taken and stride accepting her new little sister status while the other Karen is still processing this bizarre fate but this whole situation raises way too many questions but both of them have no clue the charm pops up explaining the situation to the Carin in the most low-key way possible obviously if they were one person before now there are two parts of a hole yada yada it's throwing logic at them but use clearly the one Sweating
Bullets both Karen's blush and you wonders how he's managed to stumble into a situation where his own awkward feelings have caused two girls to react like they're on some kind of reality TV dating show Karen one asks why the charm didn't mention any of this sooner but he casually replies that they didn't ask meanwhile you can only sigh and ask if they're okay with the change both girls beam and practically high-f five each other announcing that it's going to be a blast you just size in relief grateful they're not holding this reality warping mess against
against him somehow Karen one let slit that you might want to come over if he's waiting for her answer to a little confession he made earlier he and Karen too practically freeze like deer in headlights she shoots Karen one and you're kidding me look but Karen one shrugs it off saying she couldn't keep a lid on it forever youu is still trying to process that he's got plans with both of them after school like he accidentally RSP to two dates and is just now realizing he's double booked once they leave school he realizes he doesn't
even have their contact info typical Karen 2 offers hers while Karen one complains about the inconvenience of sharing the exact same name Karen to laughs saying nicknames are the way to go suddenly inspired you names Karen one himika leaning into her princess like Aura while Karen 2os Gala to capture her effortless cool girl Vibe the two Karens burst into laughter loving it he just hopes he remembers who's who because honestly he's still getting used to there being two of them once they reach the house Mom waves them in probably wondering if she should set an
extra place at the dinner table just in case a third Karen pops out of nowhere U bows politely feeling like he's about to go on the most nerve-wracking field trip of his life as they climb the stairs Yu's heart is practically leaping out of his chest he's an Uncharted Territory here he's actually at a girl's house his mind starts running 100 miles per hour as he tries to process that he's stepping into not just one but technically two girls' rooms the Stak Skittle so high that he's practically wondering if he should have brought a survival
kit hea shows him her room and you steps in wide-eyed taking in the whole girls room Vibe it's like he's stumbled onto an alien planet Gala smirks and teases he Mah saying the place is suspiciously clean like it's been vacuumed within an inch of its life he as smug as ever announces that she knows her way around a vacuum like she's declaring herself some kind of household superhero Gala just rolls her eyes and heads for the exit clearly amused that you's now dealing with himika's Princess routine now it's just you and hea in the room
and you can practically see you's brain stalling out it's like his mind has hit the blue screen of death he's dreamed about this forever and now he's actually standing here hea just gives him a bright straightforward smile and tells him she accepts his confession no hesitation no buildup just yep I'm in you's so shocked he almost looks behind him like there's a camera crew ready to jump out and yell surprise as she explains how his actions have proven he's serious Yu's face is practically a shade of red that's about to hit emergency alert level she
even leans enclos telling him he'd better be ready to take responsibility and he can only nod hoping he doesn't just pass out right there hea unbothered laughs saying that she wants to hear him say he loves her again and even wants him to carry her like she's just thrown out the highest level boyfriend achievement badge and he's got to earn it Yu officially out of his mind Scoops her up in his arms saying I love you like he's just scored the game-winning point in the world's most dramatic romance match she blushes calling him eager and
he can only grin telling her that he's been holding these feelings for 10 years outside the room Gala listens probably rolling her eyes like oh oh they're really going all in on this then with a Sly grin she leans close asking you for one more request she Whispers something in his ear and he nearly jumps out of his skin whatever she said shatters his calm leaving him torn between excitement and panic after all it's hard to stay cool when you're suddenly living your wildest dreams he stumbles out of the room and sees Gala standing there
quiet and serious a sight about as rare as a flying pig he feels a bit of a cold sweat coming on because if Gala serious things are probably about to get intense she begins confessing how happy his heartfelt words made her yesterday but watching him with hea today made her feel a bit well jealous it's like trying to enjoy Pizza when there's chocolate cake next to it she wants it all as youu takes this in still mentally loading like a slow computer Gala suddenly slams him against the wall with a you have to pick me
intensity that makes him feel like he's in a really lowbudget soap opera but but before he can faint from the sheer energy of it all she stumbles and apologizes realizing she might have gone just a little overboard he quickly reassures her with a smile like a guy who's accidentally brought way too many roses on a first date in a move that could only be described as over-the-top nerdy he calls hea outside and then pulls out his secret weapon a schedule not just any schedule but an all nighter crafted Library researched down to the minute timeline
for spending equal time with each of them Gala gapes impressed but also amused and probably wondering if she's dating a human or a sension spreadsheet you sleep deprived but proud explains that he stayed up reading scheduling manuals and chugging coffee just to make sure they both felt like his number one just as he's finishing his explanation exhaustion slams into him like a freight train and he sways his brain sending up a giant low battery warning before he knows it he's in a semiconscious blur and realizes that both Ken have somehow turned into his personal headrests
he's lying in their laps enjoying the moment and making ridiculous VES to never wash his hair again like a man who's just discovered the meaning of life the Karens look at him with a mix of pity and this boy needs help reminding him gently that no one's impressed by unwashed hair after a quick recovery and enough blushing to fuel a small fire he says his goodbyes turning to leave but galka shy and fidgety calls him back for a goodbye hug because says hey that's what you do when your official relationship starts right use heart somersaults
as they lean in only for hea to join in like a third wheel who absolutely refuses to be left out so he throws his arms around both of them promising unlimited hugs like some overenthusiastic hug dealer the next day in class you reflects on the charms split personality effect and wers if there might be even more Karens hiding out there like a surprise multipack Dela seem is excited at the idea practically hoping there's an entire band of Karens waiting to join the lineup hea on the other hand is a little unenthusiastic and tells them to
wait until the next one arrives just then the teacher walks in with a surprise announcement a new student is going to join them today you and the Karens exchange a look oh no not another one their fears are confirmed when the new girl introduces herself as Karen machhi leaving them to wonder if they're trapped in an endless loop of clones you remembers a moment from his past standing in his secret spot with little Karen she had casually brushed off worries about others avoiding her saying it would be way too much hassle to stress over something
like that her Carefree attitude left you both impressed and puzzled where did this unshakable confidence come from back then that admiration quickly morphed into something more now the question floating around is there's lazy optimistic and what would that make the third one fast forward to the present and yet another version of Karen enters the scene visibly nervous as she introduces herself looking like she's about to apologize just for existing U thoughts spiral as he realizes Yep this is officially the third Caren to show up in just two days the teacher casually directs her to an
empty seat in the back though she apologetically mumbles that she wouldn't want to get in the way by sitting too close as youu nervously approaches to say hi hoping she remembers him Karen number three takes one look gives him the due eyes and then bolts out of the room like she's seen a ghost leaving him totally baffled meanwhile the other two Karens the original two pieces of the Karen puzzle decide it's time to step in they March up to her each introducing herself with Flare as if they're auditioning for the part of Karen but different
the new Karen barely processing that there are two more of her drops to her knees and starts apologizing profusely as though they're collecting a debt she can't pay the other two Karens assure her that they're not after her lunch money or anything suspicious which doesn't exactly calm her nerves as youu watches this absurdly surreal reunion unfold he realizes that Karen number 3 is likely thinking the whole situation is way too bizarre to be true the original two Karens trying to break it down for her in the simplest terms enthusiastically explained that they're all just different
sides of the same person Karen number three stares at them in disbelief looking like she's on the edge of a nervous breakdown watching from the doorway she overhears classmates gossiping about how close you is with the Machi hases she seems to shrink even more wondering if she really belongs in this strange class that's when you pops up beside her offering to walk her to the next class she hesitates clearly wondering if she's about to be dragged into some epic maze but you insists it's all straightforward despite her reluctance he tags along musing on how different
this Karen feels more guarded less confident he silently notes that yeah he might actually be falling for all these new sides of Karen but he sure didn't expect it to feel like solving a Rubik's Cube trying to lighten the mood Karen number three offers him a handful of coins and money like he is some beggar on Signal which only leaves him completely perplexed youu reassures her grateful just to be talking to her again which somehow makes her cheap glow with the faintest blush but as he reminisces about their childhood friendship hinting at how she's changed
since then Karen suddenly stiffens she thinks he must be disappointed feeling that she's lost her Carefree charm and her eyes well up as she quietly admits that she can't trust people the way she used to before he can stop her she dashes away once more leaving him standing there confused and wondering what on Earth just happened back in class Karen number three sits alone clutching a little charm with with a whiskful look as you returns to the group himika and Gala Jump Right In with expectant looks but his face says it all things with Karen
didn't go as planned Dela siiz dramatically like some wise sage and mutters that maybe it's time to just let Karen be but you suddenly feeling like a hero in an overly dramatic romance brings to his feet with a fiery resolve there's no way he's giving up on Karen that easily the charm reminds him with all the gentle Persistence of a parent who's explained the same rule for the hundredth time that whichever Karen he doesn't choose will disappear you must lay his heart on the line and Karen has to fully accept his feelings no halfway no
maybe someday Gala gives you a flat look as if to say are you sure she's actually accepted all this yet with a sigh he realizes he was right about one thing he's always loved Karen and he's not about to back down now even if it's starting to feel like he's trying to win over three stubborn cats he recalls that moment with her painful yes but he's committed Karen looked hurt and all he wanted to do was help ease her pain even if he had to return a 100 favors so Gathering every ounce of courage he
practically shouts his vow to make it up to her hea and gaala moved by his stummy style grab him and tell him that it's them he's been trying to save all along with an awkward but heartfelt hug you thanks them declaring his love they in turn reassure him with maybe a pinch of sarcasm that they love him too Dela adds that if he were talking about any other girl well let's just say things wouldn't be nearly as cute and cuddly just then charm drops a casual reminder time's ticking and tomorrow after school is the deadline
determined U is ready to face it and goes off to confront the third Karen who dashes away the moment she spots him you realizes cornering her and lecturing her probably isn't the best approach he needs real genuine heart-to-heart so he asks hea and Gala to hang tight while he tries to work things out meanwhile Karen is walking to her home looking too sad and gloomy replaying the whole thing in her mind she's stunned by used transformation he's becomes so much more a beat and easy to talk to not to mention his Newfound popularity she recalls
their encounter and can't shake the thought of how much taller he's grown as memories of their past together flicker back she throws herself onto her couch in frustration almost in disbelief of course the You Who Came looking would expect to find the old Karen not the mess she feels like now she's sure he wouldn't want to meet this gloomier self-dubbed version of herself her thoughts drift back to those days right after she and you had drifted apart she remembers herself as this bright confident girl always wanting to play outside blissfully unaware of her friends preferences
to stay indoors she recalls how they whispered about her clearly preferring to stick with their indoor plans and just like that her heart sank back then and it's been sinking ever since since that day she hasn't been able to shake her doubts always second guessing if people really mean what they say now in a Bittersweet moment of self-pity Karen laughs at herself she doesn't have a clue what people truly think calling herself an emotional mess of baggage no one needs maybe she Muses it's better if she stays away from you if only for his sake
but deep down she can't ignore her wish to be friends with him again even if it feels like a pike dream suddenly Gala bursts into her room snapping Karen out of her spiraling thoughts and giving her a solid scare she freaks out having completely forgotten about their shared space Karen just stares wide-eyed with a look of shock she is having a mini crisis after her classmate catches her talking to her stuffed animals in her room the shock on her face is pretty intense and she stammers trying to explain her self but only getting more flustered
she wonders if the confusion is because of their shared last name meanwhile hea standing there as calm as ever realizes they all live in the same house it takes her a second to process that but she quickly pulls herself together Karen's all over the place awkwardly trying to explain herself but he make is not having any of it she calmly suggests they sit down for tea which is probably the most composed thing anyone could suggest in this situation as they sit there their tea she starts spilling all the beans about their shared pass Karen's a
bit stunned at first hearing that they really did split off from the same person she didn't think hea was being honest back at school but well here they are hea in her usual laidback way mentions how they both used to get shut out by the other girls in class Karen's eyes go wide did she just say that yeah she did and she is not sorry about it she even reminisces about how the other girls could have just said they wanted to play inside instead of gossiping behind her back that's when Karen starts getting really self-conscious
about the whole thing thinking it's her fault for being selfish but heah cool as ever tells her it might be better to confront things head on Karen's not buying it though and stubbornly insists she's better off alone he make a smirks calling her out for lying to herself and she smugly admits that she is also a version of her he make itut as the chilled out one whereas Karen is the doubtful one they may have the same memories but their reactions couldn't be more different he may could brushes off Karen's concerns believing that you would
agree with her Karen however isn't convinced and still feels all sorts of ways about the conversation he make a cool as a cucumber attributes her unwavering confidence to self-love and the love she receives in return the next day he make an a rare moment of humility apologizes for barging into Karen's room use also feeling bad about the the whole thing forgetting the whole house sharing situation too Gela jumps in to add her two cents about dinner being dramatic but you stops her he wants to talk to Karen himself but with a little more tact he's
got to make sure his words come out right after all he doesn't want to mess this up youu head straight to Karen's room but she's about to bolt as soon as she sees him however he quickly says sorry for the previous day admitting he hadn't really been thinking about how it all affected her he ask for another chance and invites her to meet him later at the park on the hill they used to visit Karen just stares at him in silence but he's already set his mind on it so he heads to the park to
wait when Karen finally shows up you's all ready to greet her he's practically bouncing in excitement asking if she wants juice or coffee after a quick exchange he starts rambling about how he's been thinking about yesterday non-stop apparently their first meeting after so long really got to them he never told her anything about him self and now well here they are he starts apologizing for not asking for her phone number when she left town as a kid and now surprise there are two of her it's confusing and it makes no sense but he doesn't care
he just wants to stay with both of them Yu continues with all this nonsense declaring his love for everything about Karen her cute sleeves her glasses even her sheepishness Karen's just standing there wide-eyed and in shock he finally finishes with with a dramatic flourish and Karen quietly responds with something about how she's changed since they were kids but you not missing a Beat Just shrugs and says there's even more to love about her now it's a lot to take in and Karen's left speechless for a moment you then asked her how she feels but Karen's
struggling with her emotions she's recalling he make his words about not trusting them and all of a sudden she feels frustrated and overwhelmed unable to say what's really going on in her head but you ever the weirdo and not ready to back off pulls out a bare costume and throws it on trying to lessen her nervousness she looks at him with a frustrated but amused expression mumbling that she has an easier time talking to stuffed animals than real people he can't help but smirk pointing out that he's not a stuffed toy he's more of a
walking talking mascot costume no bro you're just looking like a fool he gets excited jumping around like a kangaroo and happy to be with her enjoying his form but she cringes asking him not to start with that overly energetic nonsense it's just too much feeling a bit embarrassed she suddenly goes quiet then she opens up and her voice becomes a bit softer she talks about how a long time ago people she thought were her friends started gossiping behind her back it crushed her and ever since she's found it hard to understand how others feel or
even how she feels she's been carrying that weight for a long time and the only way she knows how to communicate now is like this through walls and awkwardness but deep down she knows it's not healthy and she can't keep hiding from it you ever The Optimist looks at her and laughs he tells her it's cute just like her she's like a puppet giving life to a stuffed animal he'd never seen anyone make a stuffed toy so animated before but Karen still serious isn't having it she can't trust you's words you however shrugs it off
telling her that maybe doesn't need to trust anything him herself or anything else but what he wants her to know is that she's changed there are parts of her that are uniquely hers things she's chosen for herself and that's something he sees still in her tough girl style she jumps up tears Welling in her eyes insisting that she can't trust his love or anything he's saying everything just feels so confusing to her she wants to trust him to believe in what he says and how he feels but the fear is too much with trembling hands
she reaches for his and he can only nod with tears of his own it's a moment of vulnerability they both share but it's also full of hope hope that they can keep moving forward together the next day the four of them are together again greeting each other with warmth Karen still a little nervous stares at them completely clueless about what's going on but then she excitedly steps forward to greet him with a cheerful good morning the other two Karens can't help but grin clearly excited but wait could this really be the end who knows maybe
there will be a fourth and fifth Karen or even more each one adding a new twist I am it's all about my love here I stand I know I walked away had to find a person i' become
