The crowd kept going.
"Even with her contact, what's the point? You think Sophie Youngs is going to date him because he bought real estate? She's not a vending machine."
"This is the most pathetic simp behavior I've ever seen in my life."
"He liquidated his life savings for a Snapchat add. Let that sink in."
The verdict from the peanut gallery was swift and merciless. In their eyes, Stan Harrison had just committed the most spectacular act of self-destructive simping in the history of Peak University.
A million-dollar house, probably his entire net worth, probably everything he had, probably borrowed from three different relatives, thrown away on the infinitesimally slim chance that Sophie Youngs might look his way twice. If they had any idea what Stan had actually bought, an entire exclusive building, not just a unit, they'd be completely stunned.
Anyways they pitied him. Some mocked him. A few of them almost respected the sheer, deranged commitment of it.
