Finding a Balance

Once upon a time in a small town called Harmonyville, there lived a young boy named Max. Max was 22 years old and had two important people in his life - his girlfriend, Lily, and his best friend, Leo. They were all friends since childhood and spent a lot of time together.

Introducing Max - brown-haired, wearing glasses, always carrying a sketchbook, his girlfriend Lily - blonde-haired, with a flower tiara, always wearing colorful clothes, and his best friend Leo - tall and athletic, with curly black hair and a mischievous smile.

However, Max started feeling trapped between Lily and Leo. Lily was very possessive and always wanted Max's attention, while Leo felt left out and jealous. Max found himself constantly torn between the two, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings but feeling overwhelmed.

Next, Max met Leo at their favorite cafe and said, "Leo, you're my best friend, and I never want to lose you. But Lily is an important part of my life too. Can you try to understand and support our relationship?" Leo thought for a moment and agreed to be more accepting.

Max - brown-haired, wearing glasses, always carrying a sketchbook talking to Leo - tall and athletic, with curly black hair and a mischievous smile about understanding his relationship with Lily - blonde-haired, with a flower tiara, always wearing colorful clothes.
