Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!
Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus.
"Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"

A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom.
"Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"
Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!"
"What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"
Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."
Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!"
"Uh, what?"
"My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't take it!"
Christopher winced. General Orton's breakfast was reserved solely for the little princess of the Hamertons—no one dared have it.
"You've been acting odd these days." Persephone glanced at him. "You haven't come to work on our design plans or taken me to the factory... What's up? Don't you want me to graduate? Don't forget we need every member for this group project!"
"No, not at all!" Christopher nibbled on his pen, glanced around, then cautiously asked, "About going to the factory... Does your boyfriend know?"
"He does."
