#PennedPossibilities 74 — What does your Side Character want more out of life: happiness or success?

This teenage "kid" is slightly older the main character, but he's had a crush on her from the moment the MC "ran an op" he was assigned to. She'd chosen him for her team from that day onward. He protected her back while she protected the "principal" all the way to the very end when she ghosted the organization. He'd later unwittingly get used as bait to reel in the MC, but this time he kissed her and she enthusiastically returned the favor. [He discusses the kiss here: https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/111056174081407071 ] That night after the subsequent battle looked promising indeed.

You can see his definition of happiness /and/ success are tied together, right? 

Sadly, though she likes him, the sequel mystery romance has her collide with a more mature lover and an especially attentive one, as well as her friend from childhood now all grown up and way more attractive than she'd ever imagined.

His talent is setting things on fire. Not sure if this is going to become a problem for the MC going forward.
