Basically this new blonde guy (who btw maybe It's me but I think he looks cuter than the ML)
turns out to be a really bad gambling addict. The only reason people around didn't know it was because he kept it really under wraps. On top of that he yeeted himself out of that opera without even saying goodbye to sarah or even bothered to make sure she got back home (he was the one who arranged her ride TO the opera) the moment the ML express he knew about his little secret life. He was also kinda pushy. When she agreed to go with him to the opera "Just as friends" he kept treating the whole thing like a date despite her pointing it out.
Please don't have him go to the opera and interrupt their date. That'd be peak cringe.
