"I'm heading out!"
Sammy waved a hand as Projectionist ran out; everyone else was either chatting, talking bad about Joey, or plotting against eachother.

....

"I'm here!", Projectionist called, running up to Henry.
"Great.", Henry said. He adjusted the satchel he was wearing.
"Lets make this quick."
Projectionist nodded, lit up his face, and the two walked into the dark hallway.

"Can you belive it, this one area, completely pitch black, and no working electricity.", Henry said, looking ahead.
"Yea, it's amazing the rest of the studio isn't like this.", Projectionist replied. Henry chuckled.
"So, how is your lover?"
"Joey's sanity is coming back, but very slowly.", Henry said.
"How's your crush?"
"Sammy's been pretty busy lately, especially after the lockdown.", Projectionist said.
"And Alice's been taking him aside more than anyone. I feel like Sammy'll choose her..."
Henry looked down.
"Henry, you okay?"
Henry nodded.
"Lies. What's wrong?"
Henry sighed.
"I want to tell you, but I don't want to break his trust."
"Who's?"
"Sammy's.", Henry said.
No conversation was said afterwards untill they finished.

"Fine.", Henry said, turning to a confused Projectionist.
"I'll tell you, but don't say you got that information from me."
Projectionist nodded, and Henry whispered it to him.

....

"Sammy!"
Sammy turned around to see his friend running up to him.
"Hey 'jector.", Sammy said, using Projectionist's nickname.
"What's up?"
Projectionist looked at his friend.
"I learned, something.."
Sammy made a curious look.
"Oh?"
"I learned, that you may... have a crush on me?"
Sammy's face went blank. The two stood in silence.
"Well....", Sammy finally said.
"Do.. you, like me?"
Projectionist leaned forward and hugged Sammy.
"Yes."
"Then yes. I do."

.....

Projectionist was cooking dinner when his new lover attacked him with a hug.
Projectionist "smiled" and hugged him back as everyone else was returning to eat.
