Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
You came to the drained fountain. Come inside the dome with me, the sky is switched on and one star in it is lying.
Yes. Inside the planetarium dome, then. I will bring the coins and judge the stars on how badly they mean it.
The challenge
Lights down. Admission: I put the lying star there for you. I did not know you yet. I hoped someone like you would exist.
I admit I wished on a coin for a person who says that sentence. The wish was graded C, poorly meant. Tonight it improves.
The decision
Then call it a lovely night and a lovely fault. I would hate for the lying star to become a promise.
Agreed. A friend with a ladder is worth more than a verdict. Goodnight, Octavian.

The box score
How this was scored
Just friends: warm enough (chemistry 78), but trust 59 never got there. Endings read where the numbers finished, not how far they moved. By the numbers: a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry 45%, attraction 30% and trust 20%, minus 40% of awkwardness. This one came out +25.0 against an ordinary date: friends needs +11.0, a second date +16.0. Neither of them wanted to see the other again, and that tipped it one step worse than the numbers alone.
“A friend with a ladder is worth more than a verdict.”
