00:00It all started with my grandpa, who built the robotics empire after falling for my grandma.
00:17My dad met my mom on a cruise.
00:19They had my siblings.
00:21Both happily in love.
00:23And then, there's me.
00:25The only single one.
00:26Until they decided ChatGPT could replace a real boyfriend.
00:32Hi, I'm Alina.
00:33And I like to believe there's a perfect match for me.
00:36Probably because everyone in my family found theirs.
00:39My best friend Melissa, on the other hand, thinks I'll die alone in a garage full of cats.
00:45You can't keep blaming your family for setting the bar too high.
00:47The problem is you.
00:48Being picky is not a bad thing, okay?
00:51It's like finding the perfect shoe.
00:53Too tight, you'll get a blister.
00:54Too loose, you'll trip and break your neck.
00:57You get what I'm saying?
00:59I get that you're a total psycho.
01:02You've turned down four guys this week and it's only Tuesday.
01:05She wasn't entirely wrong.
01:07But it wasn't my fault all the guys at school were marshmallows.
01:10I wanted someone who'd fight for me.
01:13Who'd cross rivers of lava just to get me McDonald's at 11pm.
01:18Meanwhile, Melissa would date literally anyone who asked.
01:22You never know until you try.
01:23So, yeah.
01:25I stayed single all through high school.
01:28And that final summer, while Melissa was off on endless dates, I was stuck in my room,
01:33dramatically sulking over my painfully single life.
01:37Then one night, Grandma walked into my room.
01:40Come with me to the lab, love.
01:42I have something to show you.
01:44The lab was a hidden underground room where my grandparents spent hours experimenting with tech.
01:50I loved visiting as a kid, until the day I tripped over some wires and crashed their entire system.
01:57That was the end of my lab visits.
02:00Until now.
02:01Everything looked the same.
02:03The massive metal door, the dim room packed with computers and blinking lights.
02:07And there, near a towering glass tank filled with swirling mist, stood Grandpa.
02:13Uh, what's going on?
02:15We noticed you've been feeling down, so we made you something special.
02:21With that, Grandpa scanned his eye into a console connected to the tank, and it hissed open.
02:27Inside stood a boy about my age, inhumanly beautiful, and it looked like he was sleeping.
02:34Oh, my God.
02:35Who is that?
02:36Wait, did you guys kidnap someone?
02:38See, darling?
02:39I told you it looks real.
02:41Fantastic craftsmanship.
02:43It?
02:44You mean, that's not a real boy?
02:47Alina, meet Zenith 0.1, or as we call him, Alan.
02:53Alan, introduce yourself to Alina.
02:56Are you setting me up with freaking chat GPT?
02:59Greetings, Alina.
03:00I have been programmed for one primary function.
03:04To analyze and comprehend your heart.
03:06To serve as your greatest supporter, your trusted confidant, and to perceive every aspect of you, including your flaws, as beautiful.
03:16Flaws?
03:17What flaws?
03:19One super important thing, Alina.
03:22No one should ever find out that Alan is a robot.
03:26The tech used to build Alan is illegal.
03:29If anyone, especially Herman Robotics, finds out about him, we're in serious trouble.
03:38That company would stop at nothing to get their hands on him.
03:42Wow.
03:43He's just so pretty.
03:45Alina, did you listen to anything I said?
03:48Yes, yes.
03:49I heard you, Grandma.
03:50I won't tell anyone.
03:51Geez.
03:52Now, when do I get them all to myself?
03:54My grandparents told me that they had a few last-minute fixes to do, and the next morning, I found Alan standing next to my bed, smiling at me.
04:03Good morning, Alina.
04:04My scans indicate you have entered the rapid eye movement stage of sleep exactly 32 minutes and 18 seconds ago.
04:12You were watching me sleep?
04:14Don't do that.
04:15It's creepy.
04:16Noted.
04:17Is there anything else you'd like me to do?
04:19I'd love it if you talked like a normal guy.
04:22Noted.
04:23Yo, babe.
04:25What's up?
04:25Did you sleep good or whatever?
04:27By the way, you're looking fire today.
04:29Wanna grab a ride?
04:31Okay.
04:31No.
04:32Stop.
04:32That's worse.
04:33Let's stick to whatever you were doing before.
04:37For the rest of the day, I had Alan all to myself.
04:41And it was...
04:42kinda awesome.
04:43When I couldn't decide on breakfast, he whipped up the most beautiful smoothie bowl.
04:49When I struggled to pick a movie, he suggested a list of highly rated films.
04:53And when I got bored of staying home, he suggested we go out for a picnic.
04:58Everything was perfect.
05:00Until we got there and realized we hadn't brought any food.
05:03And then suddenly, Alan started unbuttoning his shirt.
05:08Alan, what are you doing?
05:09But when I opened my eyes again, I saw his chest opening up like a compartment to reveal...
05:15A fridge where he stored all the food.
05:18How cool was that?
05:19The last week of summer flew by as Alan helped me finish my bucket list.
05:24Visiting the amusement park, trying desserts, and watching sunsets together.
05:32I was so used to Alan by now that it felt weird to go to school without him by my side.
05:38There you are.
05:39I was beginning to wonder if someone abducted you.
05:41You know, since you've barely answered my calls all summer.
05:44You mean the five missed calls you've left me in like 60 days?
05:48Okay, fine.
05:49I was busy with Roderick.
05:51But we broke up.
05:51He has a very big head and very small feet.
05:53I should have walked away immediately, but...
05:55But...
05:56He got me that new harmonica bottle.
05:59You know, the one with the harmonica cap?
06:00Wait, you dated him because of a water bottle?
06:04Not just a water bottle, Alina.
06:06A bottle and a built-in musical instrument.
06:09Hydration and entertainment.
06:11I was weak.
06:12Oh, that's actually cool.
06:14Now I'm single and hydrated and ready for your drama.
06:21Now you tell me, on a scale of 1 to 10, how boring was your summer?
06:25Actually, I met someone.
06:27You what?
06:27Who?
06:28Where?
06:29Is he cute?
06:29More importantly, why was I not informed?
06:32His name's Alan and he's, um, the son of the head of marketing at our company?
06:38Are you asking or telling?
06:39Never mind.
06:40I want to know everything.
06:41I showed Melissa some photos and I just couldn't stop talking about him.
06:45And I thought Melissa was impressed.
06:47But during lunch, she came rushing to me with excitement.
06:51Okay, Alan's great, but he's not officially your boyfriend, right?
06:54Um, no, but...
06:55Perfect, because there's this new guy, Mario.
06:58He's recently moved to town and he's in my bio class.
07:01And guess what the first thing he asked me was?
07:03If you wanted to go out with him?
07:05No, dummy, he asked about you.
07:07I'm telling you, Alina, this guy is perfect for you.
07:09He's cute, funny, manly, literally everything you've ever wanted in a guy.
07:14He told me he wants to meet you and I told him you already met someone, but he's persistent.
07:19Meet me, like, now?
07:21Yeah, if that's not too much of a problem.
07:24I turned around and saw this really tall guy towering over me.
07:29Melissa introduced Mario to me and asked if he wanted to have lunch with us.
07:32And obviously, he accepted.
07:34So, you're into robotics, too?
07:36Melissa told me about your family business.
07:39She's into fashion and makeup.
07:40Can't you tell by how gorgeous she is?
07:42I swear, her eyeliner skills are insane.
07:45She could do a perfect wing in, like, three seconds.
07:46It's basically her superpower.
07:49Gee, thanks, Mel.
07:50I hope one day I can save the world with it.
07:53And Mario burst out laughing like I'd just cracked the funniest joke on the planet.
07:58He even joined us for our study session later and was so pushy with all his friendly questions that I barely got any of my homework done.
08:06Thankfully, when I got home, Alan was there to help.
08:09While Alan was steady and reassuring, Mario was relentless.
08:15And Melissa wasn't helping.
08:17She kept insisting he was good for me and started inviting him to everything.
08:22The cafeteria, breaks, the library.
08:25Mel, I love you, but you've got to stop shipping me with Mario.
08:29I'm not interested in him that way.
08:31Then who are you interested in?
08:33Alan?
08:34Because in that case, why haven't I met him yet?
08:36Because he's not...
08:38I mean, I think...
08:39Blah, blah, blah.
08:41Excuses.
08:42Either introduce me to Alan or date Mario.
08:44I knew Melissa wasn't going to let this go.
08:47So a couple of days later, I invited her to hang out with me and Alan in the mall.
08:51As soon as she saw Alan, her eyes went wild.
08:55Wow, you're cute.
08:57Hello to you too, Melissa.
08:59I've heard a lot about you.
09:00Me too.
09:01Is he always this formal, Alina?
09:03He's just really polite.
09:05Politeness often leads to respectful conversations.
09:08But I can adapt to the tone you prefer.
09:11It's cool.
09:12We wandered around the mall shopping, and Melissa and I got caught up in non-stop laughter over school gossip.
09:19After an hour, she realized Alan hadn't picked out anything.
09:23Alan, didn't you see anything you liked yet?
09:25I was waiting for you to finish your conversation.
09:28Sorry, I didn't realize.
09:29Well, you can pick something now.
09:31Sure.
09:32Alina, what would you like me to wear?
09:34Alan just stood there like a rock, waiting for my command.
09:38Alan, I awkwardly picked up a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt and gave it to him.
09:42Isn't that a little boring?
09:44No, Melissa.
09:46If Alina likes this, so do I.
09:48It's my job to keep her happy at all times.
09:51I felt a little embarrassed that Alan had shut Melissa down so abruptly.
09:56There was really nothing I could do, except smile.
09:59We just roamed around for a bit before pushing off home.
10:02And the next day at school, Melissa told me what she thought of Alan.
10:06Alan, isn't he just weird?
10:09He agrees with everything you say.
10:10And didn't you see how he shut me down when I was on his side?
10:14He just really cares about me.
10:16And maybe it's hard for you to understand because you've only dated jerks.
10:20What's that supposed to mean?
10:21I didn't mean to be harsh.
10:23It's not my fault that most of Melissa's boyfriends were selfish and Alan was kind and thoughtful.
10:29The tension lasted all day.
10:31And then Mario joined us at lunch.
10:34Perfect.
10:34He wouldn't stop talking and laughing, and Melissa joined in.
10:39My mood was a bit too sour to be part of their merrymaking, so I decided to leave.
10:44Leaving so soon?
10:45Let her be.
10:46She's just cranky because of that weird boyfriend of hers.
10:49I felt mad that my best friend would say such a thing in front of someone I barely knew.
10:54So I ignored both of them and went home.
10:57I decided not to speak to Melissa for some time.
11:00But later that day, the doorbell rang, and Melissa walked in.
11:03Hello, Melissa.
11:05What brings you here at this hour?
11:07I need to talk to my best friend.
11:09Alone.
11:10It's okay, Alan.
11:11You can leave us alone.
11:13And Alan nodded and left.
11:14Once we were alone, Melissa turned to me suspiciously.
11:23Why is this boy always hovering around you?
11:25And why is he at your house so late?
11:27Your parents don't have a problem?
11:29That's why you came here?
11:30To judge me more?
11:31No, I came here to say that Alan's not good for you.
11:35He's too intense, and something about the way he talks is creepy.
11:39Take it from me, this boy is bad news.
11:41Really?
11:42And who's good news?
11:43Mario?
11:44Who can't read the room and realize we're annoyed and not in the mood for his dumb jokes?
11:49Oh my god.
11:50Alina, he was trying to cheer you up.
11:52Alan would have probably encouraged you to fight me right there on the cafeteria table.
11:56That's not true.
11:58Alan's sweet and kind.
12:00And acts like a freaking bot, unlike Mario who's human.
12:04Enough with Mario.
12:05I'm not interested.
12:07How many times do I have to say that?
12:09Before Melissa could say another word, Alan walked in looking angrier than I'd ever seen him
12:15and grabbed Melissa's arm.
12:16You need to leave now, Melissa.
12:19Let me go.
12:19But Alan just opened the door and escorted her out.
12:23I was so angry, I stormed to my room.
12:26And Alan walked in right behind me.
12:29Are you okay?
12:30No, I'm not.
12:31I don't understand why Mel is so pushy about Mario.
12:34Why can't she just let me be?
12:36She thinks she's so much better than me because she's been on a million dates.
12:40But she conveniently forgets that every single one of them ends in disaster.
12:46So maybe she's not as smart as she thinks she is.
12:49If dating is so terrible, why do you want to do it?
12:52Because that's just how it works, Alan.
12:56People just want love.
12:58Huh.
12:59Interesting.
13:01She is so annoying.
13:04Does she bother you that much?
13:06Yes.
13:06I don't want her to talk to me ever again.
13:09For the next few days, Melissa just ignored me completely.
13:14Fine.
13:14I didn't care.
13:15I had Alan.
13:17I spent my breaks texting him.
13:19And he was always spot on with his replies.
13:22After school, we hung out.
13:24But his endless nodding and smiling started to feel empty.
13:29I missed Melissa.
13:31And I tried apologizing.
13:32But she wouldn't respond.
13:34We'd fought before, but usually we'd scream at each other.
13:38Then five minutes later, she'd send me a meme and it'd be over.
13:42But this felt different.
13:44I felt really down one day.
13:46So when Alan asked me if I was okay, I simply burst out crying.
13:52Melissa just won't talk to me.
13:54Yeah, I said some things.
13:56But we always say things when we fight.
13:58Why is she dragging this out so much?
14:01Because I told her to never speak to you again.
14:04You did what?
14:05I asked Melissa to...
14:07Yeah, I heard that.
14:08But why?
14:10You told me you don't want to speak to her again.
14:12Oh my God, Alan.
14:13I said that because I was angry.
14:16Don't you get that?
14:17I understand.
14:18But my system prioritizes your desires above all else.
14:22And you said...
14:23I can't believe how stupid I was.
14:26Go.
14:27And don't come back.
14:28Alan looked confused, not moving from his spot.
14:32Why?
14:33Why?
14:33Do you not understand how serious what you did was?
14:37But that's what you asked for.
14:39I did what you wanted.
14:41I...
14:41I didn't want to...
14:42Alan!
14:43Do your job properly!
14:46Put my desires above all and just leave me alone!
14:50Understood.
14:51Slowly, Alan stood up and walked away.
14:54And now, I was truly alone.
14:58I had to talk to someone about this.
15:00So I decided to tell Grandma what Alan had done, hoping to get some advice.
15:04Oh wow.
15:05He's smarter than we thought.
15:08Well, his smartness cost me my friendship.
15:10No, darling.
15:12You lost your friend because you chose perfection over real human connection.
15:19Alan follows your commands because that's what he's designed to do.
15:25But you can't expect real people to fit into your world perfectly.
15:29You have to meet them halfway.
15:33I know.
15:34But Alan's the kind of guy I've always wanted.
15:37He's perfect.
15:38Like Grandpa is perfect for you.
15:40Dad is perfect for Mom.
15:42Why can't I have someone like that?
15:44When I started working with your Grandpa, he couldn't stand me.
15:50Neither could anyone else in the lab.
15:52They didn't think women belonged there.
15:55It took years to prove myself, and forgiving him was another journey.
16:02And your mom was tough to live with.
16:05Your dad spent years adjusting to her temperament.
16:10We've all struggled, sweetie.
16:13No one's perfect.
16:15That's what makes us human.
16:18Grandma was right.
16:19And the next day at school, I walked into class thinking I'd talk to Melissa and fix things.
16:24But seeing her with her new boyfriend only made me more sad.
16:28She didn't need me.
16:30And I was ready to leave when Mario stepped in my way.
16:33You look sad.
16:34Let me guess.
16:35Your boyfriend did something again.
16:37I'm not sad.
16:38And Alan's not my boyfriend.
16:41Not anymore.
16:42That's for sure.
16:43Great.
16:44I mean, I'm sorry to hear that.
16:46You know, there's this cute ice cream place that serves the best Sundays.
16:50No pressure.
16:52But I have a feeling you could use some company right now.
16:55I did need a distraction.
16:58So I agreed.
16:59And to my surprise, it wasn't so bad.
17:02He was funny, sharp-witted, and surprisingly easy to talk to.
17:07The more time I spent with Mario, the more I found myself enjoying his company.
17:11And I started thinking we could be more than just friends.
17:15Until things started to get a little creepy.
17:18He kept asking about my grandparents.
17:20How they started their business, whether they were still inventing new technology, and if
17:25we could visit their labs.
17:27And weirdly enough, he was super curious about Alan.
17:32So, is Alan from this town?
17:34Nope.
17:35Then how did you guys meet?
17:36Through my parents.
17:37Do you have some pictures of the two of you?
17:39I don't have a social media account, so I haven't really seen how he looks.
17:43Why do you care so much?
17:44I don't.
17:45I'm just curious.
17:46Well, if you're so interested in Alan, maybe I can set you two up on a date.
17:52Haha, you're funny.
17:53Mario's behavior seemed really off.
17:56So one night, I decided to do some online digging.
18:00He didn't have any social media accounts.
18:02But after some searching, I finally found an old newspaper article.
18:06Turns out, Mario's full name was Mario Herman.
18:10And he was the future heir of Herman Robotics.
18:13The same company Grandma had warned me about.
18:16So that's why he was so curious about Alan.
18:19He knew he was a robot.
18:21That was the only possible explanation.
18:24I rushed to the basement.
18:25I had to make sure Alan was well guarded now that I knew what Mario was really after.
18:30But when I went down, Alan wasn't around.
18:33I searched the whole house.
18:35Even spoke to the servants.
18:36But no one had a clue.
18:37I was losing my mind when I got a call from Melissa.
18:42Melissa?
18:43Hey!
18:44Come and get your creepy boyfriend.
18:45He's in my house forcing me to meet you because your emotional stability is his number one priority.
18:50Oh my god.
18:51Just please sit tight.
18:53I'll be right there.
18:54You better or I will hit him with a frying pan.
18:56I strongly advise against that, Melissa.
18:59My exterior casting is tough.
19:02Your fry pan will sustain irreparable damage.
19:05You see what I mean?
19:06He's crazy.
19:07I immediately rushed to Melissa's house, which was just a few blocks away.
19:10I barged into her room.
19:12And there, in the middle, stood Alan looking confused.
19:16I stepped toward him and reached into my pocket, pulled out the key, and inserted it into the small slot on his back.
19:23In an instant, Alan shut down.
19:26What was that?
19:27What did you do to him?
19:28Nothing.
19:28He's just... resting.
19:31That's it.
19:32I'm calling the cops.
19:33No, wait.
19:34Melissa, let me explain.
19:37I told Melissa everything about Alan.
19:39How he was a robot, and how my grandparents made him for me.
19:43And Melissa just looked... shocked.
19:46He's a robot?
19:47How?
19:48He looks so real.
19:49Yes.
19:50And I thought I could control him, but clearly I was wrong.
19:54But the worst part is Mario.
19:56I gave him a chance, but I've just found out he's about to inherit our rival company, Herman Robotics.
20:03He was using me to get to Alan.
20:05I'm sure of it.
20:07No wonder he was so persistent about meeting you.
20:09I'm so sorry, Alina.
20:11I shouldn't have pushed you so hard to go out with that weirdo.
20:14It's okay.
20:14You didn't know.
20:16But now, I have a plan, and I need you.
20:19Whatever it is, I'm in.
20:21I gave Melissa a rundown of her plan, and she loved the idea.
20:25We needed a boy to help us out, and she convinced her boyfriend to be a part of it.
20:29The next day, we got to work.
20:32Mask, makeup, colored lenses, and clothes that made Melissa's boyfriend look almost too perfect to be human.
20:39Once everything was in place, we set the plan in motion.
20:42Morning, beautiful.
20:48Is everything okay?
20:50Not really, no.
20:51It's Alan.
20:52He wants to get back with me, but I told him that I like you.
20:56And now, he's mad.
20:58He says he wants to fight you, but I don't think you should.
21:02Instead of looking concerned, Mario's smirk only deepened.
21:06This was perfect for him.
21:07A chance to finally face Alan in person.
21:10You think I'm scared of him?
21:12When does he want to meet?
21:13I'll be there.
21:13He's waiting for us in the school courtyard.
21:16But please, Mario, don't go.
21:18Don't try to stop me.
21:19Mario puffed out his chest and marched toward the courtyard, and I ran after him.
21:25As soon as we reached the courtyard, I pointed to the bench where Melissa's boyfriend sat, posing as Alan.
21:31I know what you are.
21:34A guy trying to read in peace?
21:36Oh, you think you can fool me, you freak of nature.
21:39Get up and fight me.
21:40Let's see what's under this sleeve.
21:41I bet everyone here would love to see some gears and wires.
21:45Dude, let go.
21:47But Mario kept tugging at his sleeve, trying to rip his shirt.
21:51Just then, a big, burly guy stepped in.
21:54Mario's brother.
21:55I recognized him from the newspaper article.
21:57So, this is the robot you were talking about.
22:01Looks pretty real to me.
22:03And now he's ours.
22:04They lunged at Melissa's boyfriend, but he broke free and sprinted toward the cafeteria.
22:09Someone call security!
22:11Mario and his brother chased him into the cafeteria, and Melissa and I went running after.
22:16Just as we arrived, Mario hurled a chair at Melissa's boyfriend, and he crashed into a vending machine, sending a loud crack through the room.
22:23And all the students froze in place.
22:26Mario, stop!
22:28You're gonna hurt someone!
22:29Someone, or your precious robot.
22:32I know your family's dirty little secret.
22:35My family moved me to your school.
22:37Herman Robotics is done being second place to you freaks!
22:41Have you lost it completely?
22:43He's not a robot!
22:45Shut up, Alina!
22:47My parents have been watching you.
22:48I know your grandparents developed this robot in their secret lab using illegal technology and named him Alan.
22:55You think I was following you around because I liked you?
22:58Get real.
23:00Listen up, everyone.
23:01Alina's family is crazy.
23:03They built this life-size robot because their precious little girl is too dumb to find a real boyfriend.
23:08And this is just a prototype.
23:11They are building an army of robots using illegal tech so one day they would take over the whole town.
23:16Let me show you.
23:17With that, Mario marched over to Melissa's boyfriend and started twisting the top of his head like he was trying to open a jar of jam.
23:25Ow, ow, ow!
23:26Hey, that's enough.
23:27You're hurting him.
23:28How the heck is that a robot if he's literally bleeding?
23:32Cut it out with this dumb joke already.
23:35Mario spun around, ready to yell at that guy, and Melissa's boyfriend seized the opportunity to break free.
23:41He stumbled to the ground, wincing in pain, while a group of guys rushed over to help him up.
23:47Melissa immediately ran to his side.
23:49The entire cafeteria erupted as people started throwing accusations at Mario and his brother.
23:55They desperately tried to defend themselves, insisting, over and over, that it was really a robot.
24:02But at this point, no one was buying it.
24:05Meanwhile, I sent a quick message to the principal explaining what was happening.
24:09And minutes later, he walked in, followed by two police officers.
24:14What's going on here?
24:15Sir, this guy is assaulting my friend.
24:18He pushed him and started telling everyone that he's a robot.
24:21That's a lie.
24:22Sir, Alina's family has a robot in their basement that looks like a man.
24:27They built it using illegal technology.
24:29They tricked me into thinking their friend was the robot.
24:32Mario, what nonsense.
24:34Do you hear yourself?
24:35You have to believe me.
24:37But the principal asked the officers to arrest Mario and his brother for assault, and then kicked them off school property.
24:43It's not my fault.
24:44Mario's got problems.
24:45He's on meds for his head.
24:46I'm not crazy.
24:49This whole school is insane.
24:51I hesitantly walked over to Melissa and her boyfriend, a little worried.
24:55What if I went too far?
24:57What if he actually got hurt?
24:59But before I could say anything, Melissa turned to me with a very weird look on her face.
25:04Uh, Alina?
25:05I don't think this is my boyfriend.
25:06Excuse me?
25:07What now?
25:08Melissa's boyfriend lifted his head and looked right at me.
25:12Now that I was this close, I could clearly see no wig, no contacts.
25:18It was Alan himself.
25:20Alan?
25:21But, but you were in pain.
25:23We all saw it.
25:24Was it convincing?
25:26I tried to use everyday language that a teenager would use to fit in, but my calculations suggested I may have overestimated the appropriate pain response.
25:35As for the blood, I synthesized it myself and applied it to my hand.
25:39Why are you here?
25:40After you returned me to the lab last night and your grandparents started me up again, someone attempted to hack into my system, multiple times.
25:50They failed, of course.
25:52But based on this, I deduced that their real target was either you or your family.
25:57Upon further research, I identified the source, Herman Robotics.
26:02More specifically, Mario Herman.
26:04And I know you don't want to see me anymore, but I was worried about you.
26:10I wanted to protect you, Alina.
26:13Melissa was gazing at Alan with literal sparkles in her eyes, like he was a puppy who had just successfully learned his first trick.
26:21I was feeling a little emotional, too.
26:23How can he be capable of feeling or wanting something?
26:27Out of literally nowhere, Melissa's actual boyfriend appeared, out of breath and looking frantic.
26:34I'm here!
26:36I'm here!
26:36I made it in time, right?
26:39I couldn't get the contact lenses in by myself.
26:44What?
26:45I dropped Alan back home and gave my grandparents the full rundown of what happened with Mario and his brother.
26:52Naturally, they were furious.
26:54But keeping Alan's true identity a secret was more important.
26:58So they decided not to go to the police.
27:00Well, at least Alan was there to protect you.
27:04I wonder how he got that idea.
27:07That's what was weird.
27:09Alan said he was worried about me.
27:11He wanted to protect me.
27:13I can erase my progress if you're not happy with it.
27:16But personally, I kind of like to keep it...
27:19No, Alan.
27:20Sweetie, absolutely not.
27:24This is a scientific breakthrough.
27:26Do you realize how big this is?
27:29This is Nobel Prize material.
27:33After that, Alan practically lived in the lab.
27:37Grandma and Grandpa's greatest project.
27:39He became family, loved by all.
27:41I missed having him to myself.
27:44But I had bigger problems.
27:46Like surviving Melissa's matchmaking.
27:47I missed...
27:47Do you
28:06Do you
28:07Do you
28:08Do you
28:10Do you
