I have been thinking long and hard about this, and the only conclusion I can come to is that the people who run this island want me, specifically, to bang my roommate. I dunno about the rest of you. I'm pretty sure this is about me.
Evidence:
Assigned as roommates when my ex-legal guardian was here anyway
Not bringing any of my friends, isolating me with him (and England)
Weird kissing thing
The volcano (bringing us together through mutual danger)
Santa (see above)
Cute animals taking our stuff (blankets stolen - need to share them??)
Grown up aging thing (demonstrate the long-term viability of relationship - stays a cute grown-up)
Weird midnight thing (gives an extra hour to the day (for kissing?), tires him out)
The dance (we could have gone together)
And now this!!
What I'm saying is there is an easy way to solve this. I bet if we did it the forcefield would lift. No arguments; this is science.
