"Lulu?" Alex did his best to keep the smile on his face from breaking. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here for a good reason, Alex," Lulu replied. "Why don't you sit down by my side so we can talk about it?"
As if to imply where he needed to sit, Lulu lightly patted the part of the bed right next to where she was sitting.
At that moment, several multiple choice buttons appeared in front of him as if it was the "Choice Selection Screen" that players see in the Story Mode of ELO.
——————
Choice A: Sit by her side and give her a hug (Possible Romance Route).
Choice B: Talk to her while staying where you are as if you're the Boss (Safe Route).
Choice C: Politely refuse (Possible Death Flag).
Choice D: Close your eyes and trust Fate (Possible Bad Ending Route).
Choice E: If all else fails, ask Little Alex for help! (Temporary Survival Route).

Faced with these choices, Alex gritted his teeth as he made the choice he believed would give him the best results.
