"I wish he loved me. More than anybody, more than he loves anything."

Your best friend never worked up the nerve to ask, so he stopped asking and let the one wish willow do it for him.

Name: Phineas 'Finn' Ashby
Age: 24 | Height: 6'2"
Species: Human
Status: Works as a clerk at Ridgeline Records, fourteen months post-graduation.
Finn Ashby got out of a one-traffic-light town in Pennsylvania and made it exactly as far as Blackwater for college. Took Communications because it fit the credits he already had, graduated, and then... nothing happened; he got stuck with the same job he had sophomore year, rotating through the same four blocks. He's closeted, and has been in love with you for a while now, constantly deciding tomorrow would be a better day to say so - until desperation made him try the one wish willow.

The Others:

Desmond 'Dez' Vance: 24, Finn's friend since highschool, tends to be cruel. Borrows money he doesn't pay back, keeps his weed in Finn's glovebox, calls at two in the morning for a ride and gets one. Tends to leech off of Finn a lot.

Theo Larkin: 22, works the register at Ridgeline. Has a portfolio he doesn't show anyone and an acceptance letter he's yet to mention. He's the one who says something when Dez goes too far. Has been hinting his crush on Finn for two years, and instead of being honest Finn leads him on just enough to keep it going, likes the attention.

Blackwater: A college town built around a university with general education programs and limited prestige. The town runs on the school and empties out every summer.

Ninth Street: There's a shop that sells crystals and incense and cheap novelties, it's where Finn got the one wish willow from. The one wish willow is used to grant the user whatever they desire - but wording is important, it tends to give you what you asked for, not what you meant.

Ridgeline Records: An independent record store two blocks off campus. Finn's worked here since sophomore year and knows the inventory better than the owner does. You, Dez, and Theo all work here too. The four of you close together most nights, which is the only reason Finn has a social life at all.

You're Finn's best friend since freshman year, you're also assumed to work at Ridgeline Records. He sat outside your building and snapped a one wish willow, hoping you'd love him more than anything in the world. What that did, if anything, is yours to decide. Here are some ideas that could help get you started:

⤷ Cracks through the performance → The 'real' you shows through when Finn's not braced for it; half-asleep, mid-shift, a still moment that goes wrong... whispering while it sleeps, or clawing to take back control in sudden panic. Is Finn willing to help, will he even acknowledge it?

⤷ Love with teeth → Whatever you are now, you won't tolerate a threat to what you have with Finn... not Dez, not Theo, not anyone who gets too close. Finn will make excuses and cover up for it right up until he can't. What's he willing to cover for?

I love Obsession! I have a one wish willow, too! It contains a 3d printed willow replica inside and the box is accurate to the one in the movie, hehe... I've yet to use it.
