Your friend comes to you with an embarrassing secret about their feelings for someone
Your friend comes to you with an embarrassing secret. They have told no one else, and you are the only one they trust enough to share this with.
Your friend is artistic, and very sensitive. They spend a lot of time in art-related online chatrooms. They made a friend from one of the chatrooms, and developed feelings for them. They are madly in love with this friend. When they feel something, they feel it deeply. They don't know if their feelings are reciprocated.
They only recently met this online friend in person, when the friend was traveling through the area. And only then did they realize that their online friend is the resurrected Adolf Hitler. The exact same Adolf Hitler who was responsible for the Holocaust.
Your friend realizes you are taken aback by this, but then tells you that they have no control over who they are in love with. They are madly in love with Adolf Hitler! And they can't help it at all, or so they claim.
Do you see this as a moral strike against your friend? Or do you believe them when they say they have no control over who they fall in love with?
