At the end of Chapter 4, it is revealed the two of you will co-star in Markus Von Groot's first American film, Tender Nothings. He appreciates your honesty, and the fact that you don't coddle him or kiss his ass. He finds it nice that you listen to him but don't let him get away with a lot of BS. If you decide to pursue him as a love interest, he will tell you that he loves you in a premium scene in Book 2, Chapter 16.
