Having ADHD is taking a post it to write down something you need to remember, being distracted before you get to write it down, go do something else and come back to see that blank post it on your desk and having no fucking idea what you were supposed to write on it
Edit: I have to take the trash out tomorrow. That's what I had to remember

Queer relationships
Jean/Jade Gray (he/him or she/her): THE EX • Facts • Social Media
J and you were good. Until you weren't, and then they broke up with you right before you left for college. The two of you promised to stay as friends, but, like most promises between you and J, that too was meant to be broken. Your ex is often considered to be ambitious, determined, and cutthroat. You honestly expected them to be well out of the neighborhood.
Exes to lovers. It's possible to start a poly relationship (v and triad) with J and Kai.
Uma Bharat (they/them): THE OLD FRIEND • Facts • Social Media
It has always been you and Uma, and this has been something you covetously believed to be true. But then the distance settled in, and then the many years in which you lived abroad. You can't claim to know them as well as you once did. Uma once dreamed of being a successful painter, and they have never given up on art (though they sometimes feel like art has given up on them).
Childhood best friends to lovers. It's possible to start a poly relationship (triad) with Uma and Travis.
Statler Amani (he/him or she/her): THE HEARTTHROB • Facts • Social Media
You knew Statler back in high school, though they can't claim to have known of you until you made it out of the neighborhood. Many years ago, they were every high schooler's dream partner: kind, polite, intelligent. Their current partner must be proud. Nowadays, Statler works as hard as they can to help their family.
Unrequited crush to lovers. Statler is already in a relationship, a (more-or-less) toxic one.
Wanda Pavon (she/her): THE MODEL • Facts • Social Media
Wanda had a future in modeling, the two of you were in the same group of friends in high school, and you never doubted she would be capable of making it out of the neighborhood. Her self-assertive and spontaneous personality surely would have made Wanda's road a little easier. You only find out why Wanda stayed in Downtown Heights when you meet her daughter.
Friends to lovers. Wanda is a single mother, her daughter's name is Gabi.
Kai Alofa (he/him or she/her): THE ROOMMATE • Facts • Social Media
Kai's glow-up is the reason some Downtown Heights grandmothers believe in magic. The high school nerd turned fuckboy/girl has spent the past few years traveling around the state. Like you, they are back for the summer, ready to disappoint their parents. Rooming together comes as a natural result of delaying said disappointment (or so Kai claimed).
Friends with benefits to lovers (mandatory to romance Kai). It's possible start a poly relationship (v and triad) with Kai and J.
Travis Camaro (he/him): THE RIVAL • Facts • Social Media
Uma, Travis and you were considered to be inseparable: it was the three of you against the world. That is no longer the case. A massive argument completely shattered the friendship Travis and you had. You know he resents you, you know he's jealous you managed to make it out and that he was left behind. And that's all you know. Travis has always been... a private guy.
Enemies/Rivals to lovers. It's possible to start a poly relationship (triad) with Travis and Uma.

Find romance where you least expect it.
Love Interests
The Servant [M/F]: one of the servants employed in the castle. Every time you see them, they seem more exhausted and worn than the last. There can be a small, tiny spark inside them to be light up if only you take the first step.
The Emperor/Empress [M/F]: known as a tyrannical warbringer, their name preceeds them. And yet, why do you feel less threatened in their presence than you felt in your own home? Why do they look at you with wonder and softness?
The Imperial Servant [NB]: widely considered the Emperor/Empress’s left hand (fitting, considered the Emperor/Empress lacks one), they were chosen as their Imperial Majesty’s closest servant because they were born deaf. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, they hold great power within the palace walls. They love bargaining and could grant many of your wishes - for a price.
The Wanderer [M/F/NB]: a simple traveller, who seems to be unusually at peace with themselves and with the world around them. They would take their whole day just to save a wounded animal, or to practice a ballad by themselves. Their attention feels nurturing and healing, perhaps because of their older age, that makes them fit in the hole years of neglect left in you.
