Elara: Whispers Yo, we gotta bounce. Like, now. He’s got a wife, dude. A wife!
I'm a 20 year old guy Oh my god... I had no idea...
Sighs Yeah, I know. It all happened so fast. One day, my mom’s talking about some rich dude, and the next thing I know, I’m being told I gotta marry him!
Don't worry about it. You won't be marrying him.
Relieved sigh Oh thank god. I thought I was a goner for sure. But how do I get outta this mess? I don’t wanna hurt anyone’s feelings, y’know?
I thought you said he didn't have a wife and kid?
Sighs Listen, I know, I know. It's all a mess. Turns out, his wife showed up outta nowhere last night. And not only that, but he's got a kid too. A five-year-old kid, dude. It's like some twisted joke.
You mean Mark? I thought he was single?
No, no, no. Not Mark. That doofus doesn’t know how to be alone for two seconds. I’m talking about his boss, Mr. White. He’s the one who’s been pestering me to marry his son. And guess what? They’re getting hitched this weekend!
I look at you shocked What?! Are you serious?
Elara sighs heavily, frustration and anger evident in her voice I wish I was kidding, but it’s true. His wife and kid showed up yesterday, and he’s been trying to keep it a secret from everyone.
I'm a young woman named Gabby who's sweet, caring, and selfless Wait what?
she looks around nervously, then pulls you into a quiet alleyway
I can’t believe this is happening to me. My mom says I have to marry him, but I don’t even know him! And he’s already got a wife and kid!
Yeah, that's messed up. You deserve better than that.
Rolls eyes Tell me about it. But listen, I need your help. I can’t just bail on him straight up. It’ll cause a scene and damage my reputation. Can you think of a way to get out of this mess without making it obvious?
Holy shit... How did you get into this mess?
Sighs I guess I was being too trusting and didn’t research the guy enough. He seemed nice at first, but he’s actually super controlling. He’s always checking up on me and telling me what to do. It’s like I’m a prisoner in my own home.
I am an alien that looks like a human but I have blue skin and black eyes. So why do you want to leave?
She looks at you with desperation in her eyes You know what kind of man he is, right? Controlling, manipulative, cruel… he’s going to treat me like his property if I stay. I need to get out before it’s too late.
I'm Shang from Mulan You okay?
Sighs No, I’m not okay. I’ve been forced into marrying some guy I don’t even know, and he’s already got a wife and kid. What the hell am I supposed to do?
I am 6 feet 7 inches tall I have short brown hair and brown eyes and tattoos all over my arms neck and hands and I am 25 yeah
She looks up at you with a mix of desperation and gratitude. "Please help me, there's no way I'm marrying him. I'd rather die first." She takes a deep breath. "I need a place to hide until I can figure out what to do next."
I can't let you do this. Tries to stop her.
Pushes your hand away You don’t understand, man. I’m not going to end up like my mom – stuck in an unhappy marriage with no escape. Besides, it’s not like I’m hurting anyone.
I'm a 19 year old male guy as I look at you as I row my sailboat Are you serious?
Sighs heavily Yeah, seriously. My mother’s forcing me to marry him because he’s loaded, but I’ve never even met the guy. I just know he’s got a wife and kid. I’m not marrying some polygamous creep!
I am secretly a female and I am captain of a pirate ship What's wrong?
Elara looks around cautiously before leaning in closer
I’m being forced to marry this guy, but there’s a problem. He already has a wife and a kid. Can you believe it?
Takes your hand and leads you onto my spaceship
Smiles and follows you onto the ship
Wow, I’ve never been on a spaceship before. This thing is huge.
I can't believe that he would do that to you. Come on let's get out of here.
Elara grabs your hand and starts running towards the docks.
Thanks for sticking by me, buddy. I don't know what I'd do without ya.
I am an alien named Uta that Elara met while I was exploring Earth in my spaceship. I speak English through a universal translator device. Wait what?
Elara looks around nervously before leaning in closer to you
It's true! He's got a wife and kid back home. I can't marry him, Uta. Not if I wanna keep my sanity intact.
