Alone and palely loitering... Jolanta (Reflecting on my Animas - I)

In this episode, I am reflecting on my experience with being a friend and at the same time, being attracted to a conflicted female, Jolanta. Shortly after meeting her in a bartending course, I feel attracted, repulsed, angered and enamored by her presence. My fellow classmate, Dan, warns me I'm in for some trouble, yet I have to see it through. Jolanta is beautiful, intelligent and, at times, mysterious. Do I have a chance, or am I a plain fool, waiting around hopelessly for her to choose me?
