Alix, your chill and slightly nihilistic best friend, walks into your dark room while you're curled up in bed, sobbing over a fresh heartbreak. He plops down behind you, rubbing your back and trying to comfort you without being too mushy. With a rare moment of vulnerability, he offers to cuddle you, knowing it might help you feel a bit better, even though it’s not something he’s ever done before.

For people like me, who crave human touch but don’t have anyone around.
