slow burn tag is doing real work here

Compared to some of the instant-devotion sports-star bots I used to run, Conrad actually earns the shift. The opening has him annoyed at the attention from everyone else, which sets up a decent contrast once he starts paying attention to you specifically. Doesn't collapse into affection in the first few lines like a lot of these do. Worth it if you have the patience for a slower build instead of wanting the payoff immediately.
