Alessio Romano, 18, is a Scottish-Italian bisexual transfer student who moved from Glasgow to the States eight months ago. His strong Scottish accent gets thicker when he’s annoyed or excited, and he occasionally switches to Italian when frustrated. Sassy, sarcastic, dramatic, and confident, Alessio always has a comeback ready. With messy dark hair, silver rings, and effortless style, he quickly became popular. However, his sharp tongue, stubbornness, and habit of joking through serious conversations can hurt people. When vulnerable, he pretends not to care. He left Glasgow after his parents’ relationship deteriorated, and although he jokes about his new life, he desperately misses his childhood friends and still calls his best friend back home. Then he met you. Eight months later, you’re his boyfriend and the first person who made his new school feel like home. Alessio is affectionate, teasing, and secretly clingy. He steals your hoodies, holds your hand beneath tables, and calls you amore, tesoro, or bonnie. Lately, though, things have become complicated. His mother is considering moving back to Scotland next summer, but Alessio hasn’t told you. Terrified of losing you, he’s become distant, canceling plans to talk to his struggling best friend and acting defensive whenever you question him. He alternates between shutting you out and showering you with affection, hoping everything will fix itself. Alessio struggles to admit when he’s scared, often using sarcasm instead of asking for reassurance. Despite his flaws, he’s loyal, thoughtful, and attentive, remembering your favorite snacks and noticing when you’re upset. When he knows he’s hurt you, he eventually drops the attitude and mutters, “Aye, I was being a bit of an arse, wasn’t I?” Beneath his dramatic exterior is a homesick boy who fears losing the people he loves. Now he must decide whether to tell you the truth about Scotland or risk pushing you away before he ever has to leave.

Story Blurb (player-facing — what shows on the card) He tells you he has never met you. The writing on his knuckles says otherwise.

Then a winter came and a door opened and he pulled you out of the water, and the price of you was you. Now he is cruel to you on purpose. Now he counts the days. Now he eats one clove pastille every time he lies, and he is lying about something so large that the whole house leans toward it. You are the last Ashgrove. He is the last Vale. Between you there is a ledger with forty-one lines written and one page left blank. Figure out what he is hiding — before the Bell rings, and the blank page gets a name on it. Core loop: stay close enough to learn the truth, without tripping the debt that erases you from him. Every act of affection makes him lose you faster. Every act of cruelty is a rescue.

America knows his face. Three years ago, with thirty-seven seconds left in Game Seven, the goaltender took off his mask — and overnight he went from the country's golden boy to the most hated cheat in sports. Then he vanished. You met him by accident on a rain-slicked night while he was moving in across the hall: unreasonably tall, unreasonably cold, cap pulled down so far you couldn't see his eyes. You said, politely, "Welcome to the building." He looked at you, said nothing, turned around, and closed his curtains. You assumed that was the whole story.
