[ there's an occasional swishing sound as Bart dictates this. He's pacing once in a while, only...it's superpacing. ]
So let's say you have three best friends and they're all here but at a different time from each other. Then let's say that--- No no wait. Okay. Person A, Person Rectangle, and... Person Seamonster Green. Let's say Person A and Person Rectangle were dating. Then really stupid stuff happened and Person Rectangle wasn't really in the picture for a while. So Person A and Person Seamonster Green kind of dated.
THEN they came to the castle. All of them. Person A and Person Rectangle are back together. Me an' Person A, we don't know much about the future or anything, so it's not like we can do anything about it. But the whole lovey-dovey secret thing kind of slipped out and now Person Rectangle and Person Seamonster Green won't talk to each other, and they're both leaving Person A out of it and she didn't even do anything! You can't help who you like like that, can you? She and Person Rectangle were perfectly happy here at Paradisa before any of this. I mean REALLY happy. REALLY. You don't want to know what I've witnessed.
Anyway, I'm just right in the middle of this and it has nothing to do with me. Awkward at first, but whatever. I'm not mad though and definitely not done being friends with any of them just because they all dated each other -- wait I think I just gave myself the creeps. Okay I'm a little mad on Person A's behalf because like I said! It's not like we can do anything about it. Because Person Rectangle and especially Person Seamonster Green won't tell us anything either. So there's no point in arguing unless they're gonna spit it out!
Is there anything I can do to get them all talking again? They'll only talk to me. Don't tell me I just have to let things "run their course", either. It's been ages, and I miss my friends.
--- Man, thinking really is hard work. I'm not supposed to be the thinking one, this is so uncool.

Hey, you got a minute? Good, because what I've got to say's gonna take way less.
