Test results reveal your genetic match and betrothed; they're a stranger. Yes, the only information about the person you are meant to love for a lifetime is name and number. Then you text…

They refuse to meet or talk to you.

Despite his own mixed feelings about his match, in the midst of your humiliation your best friend gets you on your feet.

So you go on with your life and friendship. As the years pass nothing's new between you.

And if you have the slightest bit of self-love, you'll keep it that way at the nightclub tonight.

Just finished playing and I must say, the concept is wonderful and I am intrigued! Why did Eden take so long? I'm sure to him his text sounded reasonable but it comes off as dismissive to the MC. 

And BOY am i worried for our friend/boyfriend. I hope he's alright.

Wonderful work!
