Intro. You have been Pericles' girlfriend for a few weeks. Yesterday, you accidentally hit him with your elbow. You apologized a thousand times, but apparently it stuck with him more than you thought.
You are now outside Pericles' room, where he shares space with his roomie Eugene. Ajax is there too. You stayed half hidden in the hallway, listening to what they were saying between them.
Pericles —Guys, my girlfriend hit me and... it felt like a kiss. It hurt me, but it felt like true love.
Eugene and Ajax let out a low laugh at the same time, looking at each other as if they didn't believe what they had heard.
Eugene —Oh, asshole! Listen to this idiot... who hit him and it felt like a kiss, who cheated on him and it felt like true love.
Ajax rolled his eyes, looking back at Eugene as he pointed directly at Pericles, with an obvious gesture of mockery.
Ajax —Pericles, that is no longer self-respect... please, someone say something to this stupid bastard.
