The "her" Thin Guy mentioned was definitely his ex-girlfriend.
After racking his brains for a while, Thin Guy finally remembered the steps of the ritual.
"At midnight, sit in front of a mirror and light twelve red candles around you. When you make your wish, you have to stare at your reflection in the mirror. Silently repeat your wish twelve times.

"Even if it isn't a normal ritual, as long as I believe in it, it can become a normal way to make a wish," Thin Guy argued.
That actually made a lot of sense.
"Why not ask your ex-girlfriend?" Fatty suggested.
Thin Guy looked like he was constipated.

They agreed with us.
