Bestie role

LOCR
TYPE 02 / 16

The Straight Shooter

You'll tell them the truth, then disappear for three weeks.

You take charge and you say exactly what you mean, but you don't need constant contact to feel close. You can go quiet for a month and come back like nothing happened — because to you, nothing did. Friends who need daily proof find this hard; friends who value honesty over frequency find it perfect.

Why you got LOCR

Lead over Ease
Who picks the place, who keeps the plan alive, who just goes along with it.
Open over Subtle
Whether care comes out as words, or as lifts to the airport and relentless teasing.
Clear over Patch
What you do when something's wrong — say it this week, or smooth it over and wait.
Roomy over Tight
How much contact you need before it feels like drifting, and how much before it feels like too much.
