"The Worst He Can Say Is" follows two friends, Anand and Devan, catching up at a cafe. When Anand spots a girl from his past, he recalls the hilariously awkward way he botched her romantic confession years ago in college. As Devan mocks Anand's epic fumble and boasts that he would have handled it much better, the story playfully explores the comedy of missed connections and romantic "what-ifs."
