The nice thing about taking your shot is also that it causes the waveform to collapse.
There’s a lot of people who end up just sitting there waiting for their moment with their crush, and they don’t wait for days, they don’t wait for weeks, they don’t wait for months, they wait for years only to find out in the end that their crush didn’t even remotely feel the same way.
Once you manage to collapse the waveform, usually you can move on and you’re probably a pretty decent person, there’s probably someone out there who would actually like you that you’re not going to have to sit there in pine over.
