   Summary

   When the Watcher asks if there could ever be more between them, it breaks Edér's heart to let his best friend down.

   ...and yet, he can't stop thinking about this possibility he has never considered before. Can he love again? Should he bother giving it another shot?

   One thing’s for sure: He won’t know until he tries.

   In which Edér asks for a rematch. This time, he’ll be the one making the first move.
