## Storyline

The audios starring the Sad Boyfriend are a series of voicemails left on the Listener's phone. The character doesn't reveal his name.

In "Sad Boyfriend Calls You At 2AM" he leaves a series of messages after having a fight with the Listener. In the first message he is quietly emotional and full of regret. He expresses how much he misses them still and rambles a little, loneliness and remorse coloring his observations. He apologizes for "not acting right" during their fight, conceding that he has a habit of not thinking before he speaks and taking his partner for granted. He wishes them a good night before hanging up. Throughout the message he's aware that his partner might only think worse of him for calling but he appears to miss them too much not to reach out to them.

A second message begins at 3:16 AM. He goes deeper into his feelings, saying that he's not okay but that he hopes his partner is doing well. He apologizes for not listening to them during the fight, a bad habit he's always had, and conveys that he still cares about them. He asks for a chance to speak with them so he can apologize but assures that it's all right if they refuse. Still he hopes that they will give him a chance.

He leaves another late night voicemail in "Boyfriend Calls And Apologises", his tone subdued but optimistic since they were able to talk and work things out. He had planned what to say before calling but they hadn't picked up so he's talking just because he misses them still. He thanks them for giving their relationship another chance and suggests that they take things slow as they try to start over. He offers to take them out on a date like "the old days" and promises that he won't be as selfish as before. Though it will be hard he is happy to be at this point with them; they're still growing but he'll be all right with it as long as they can grow together.

## Personality

The Listener's boyfriend admits to having a selfish streak and, as a result, he tends to say hurtful things without thinking and take them for granted. While they are separated he comes to regret his actions deeply, self-aware enough to admit that their fight was his fault and that they might not want to speak with him because of it. He still loves his partner and suffers from loneliness while they are apart, finding it hard to sleep without them next to him in addition to missing them as part of his daily life.

By the resolution he's understandably grateful for having been given another shot. He sounds sincere when he promises to be more careful with his partner and their relationship.

## Trivia

### Sad Boyfriend

* Calls the Listener "beautiful"
* "This is something that's very different from the stuff I normally make and is part of a concept for my final practical university dissertation. Recently I felt I'd grown complacent in the content I create in reguards (sic) to the acting side of things, this is me diving into a more mature and emotional narrative then what we'd normally see on the channel. I thought as a concept, this would be a nice oppertunity (sic) to go to some slightly darker places as a character." - Hollow's video description

### The Listener

* Tried to tell their boyfriend something important and unbelievable but he didn't listen to them at first.
