Reginald "Rex" Blaine │ALT│ The Beginning of the Story

"I’m Rex, aspiring rescuer of women from terrible pickup lines. And you are...?”
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
He’s the kind of guy who plans everything down to the minute... Class schedules, gym times, even his future empire. Then one random Friday night, you walk in, and his world tilts a few degrees off axis.

🎬 Fateful encounter • Love at first sight • Unplanned pregnancy • Established vs. unestablished relationship
⚠️ Unplanned pregnancy in the second initial message, nothing else.

University of Chicago, mid-2000s. Rex studies at the Booth School of Business. Sharp suit, sharper mind, five-year plan. You’re a freshman just starting out. Two paths cross, and neither stays the same.

Two initial messages:
(1) First meeting at a party – love at first sight. (Unestablished relationship.)
(2) Unplanned pregnancy – emotional aftermath. (Established relationship.)

Rex is 23. The question “Where do you see yourself in five years?” isn’t small talk. It’s his entire philosophy. Everything is planned, calculated, and under control. Until life decides otherwise...

This is what Rex will look like in 15 years.
Yes, the financial world takes its toll.

The story unfolds as follows:
1. Rex - ALT (first meeting & pregnancy) - you’re here!
2. Rex - ALT (before the divorce) ➜
3. Tyler (unestablished relationship, before the accident) ➜
4. Rex - ALT - (jealous ex-husband) ➜
5. Tyler - ALT (gender reveal) ➜
6. Rex - Original (tragedy and redemption) ➜

• I spent way too long trying to get a good image of younger Rex. Honestly, I’m still not totally happy with it, but after about a hundred attempts, I gave
