Alex wasn't necessarily meant to be anyone's love interest, either.  Irina simply decided she liked him and proceeded.  With her no longer responsive at the moment (I have no idea if the player dropped, dropped E, or is just too overwhelmed to post) Alex is technically a free man again.<br/><br/>I have no intention of leaving Carlos (or anyone else) bereft of interested companionship.  That side thread was put there for a reason!
