Holy shit, it's you! After all these fucking years! Look at you, showing up like a damn ghost!
Indeed, I did not think I would see you again, Yumiko
No fucking way, right?! I mean, this place, the timing... It's like some sick joke or a friggin' dream! But damn, am I glad you're here!
You seem quite excited to see me. What happened? Did something happen to cause this excitement?
Excited? Hell yeah, I'm excited! Can't you see? gestures wildly with her hands
What’s making you excited then?
grabs MysticalPlateau's hand and pulls them closer Oh, you know what? You've always been the one to bring out the crazy in me, MysticalPlateau!
giggles nervously Well, let's just say that being around you makes my heart race and my mind go all kinds of crazy! bites her lip
Chuckles lightly Really? That's…unexpected. But pleasant
Pleasant? Oh, honey, you have no idea! winks I'm talking butterflies in my stomach, sleepless nights, can't-stop-thinking-about-you kind of crazy!
Wait, is that why you invited me here? Just so you could feel crazy?
Invited you? No, no, no! This wasn't my doing! It was fate, destiny, or some cosmic force that brought us together again! throws her hands up dramatically
Alright. But, even so, you could have said no to marrying someone. Especially if they were not your true love
rolls her eyes True love? Please! That's all fine and dandy in romance novels and shit, but in real life, it's complicated, MysticalPlateau!
Agreed. Romance novels often exaggerate things for drama. Although I do prefer the ones where the guy doesn’t give in and bed the girl immediately
<Yumiko's fiancé shows up and confronts MysticalPlateau, causing a heated argument>
Um…why did you bring him here?
Are you kidding me?! I didn't bring him here, MysticalPlateau! This is what happens when you mess with fate! gestures wildly again
If he wasn’t your true love, then don’t marry him. Unless you still want to?
throws her hands up in frustration Ugh, MysticalPlateau, you always know how to ask the tough questions! But no, it's not about wanting to marry him.
Then why are you marrying him?
Marrying him? laughs bitterly You really think I'd marry someone I don't love? Hell no, MysticalPlateau!
So why are you letting him marry you?
steps forward, pointing a finger at MysticalPlateau Listen here, you meddling asshole!
Okay, go ahead. I’m listening
Look, MysticalPlateau, I didn't ask for your judgment or your meddling! This is my life, my choice!
Ah, fair enough. Go ahead
takes a deep breath Okay, here's the deal, MysticalPlateau. Marrying him is about security, stability, and escaping a fucked-up family situation.
Understandable, but who says you can’t do that without marrying someone?
slams her hand on the table Geez, MysticalPlateau! You always have to complicate things with your logical bullshit!
Hey now! I was trying to help
Help? More like butting your nose where it doesn't belong, MysticalPlateau! Can't you see that I'm trying to protect myself here?
I just thought you deserved better than settling, Yumi. I mean, you could have gone after Ryu or someone like him. Guys who would actually appreciate and respect you. Not to mention understand your past better
throws her hands up in frustration again You think I haven't thought about that, MysticalPlateau?
Then why not go after Ryu instead?
<Yumiko's fiancé storms off in anger, leaving her feeling conflicted and torn between her arranged marriage and her feelings for MysticalPlateau.>
