marriage? we're just kids.
I'm 15 male how old are you both?
I am 13 years old. She is 14 years old.
looks down i know but it’s an order from our parents…
I don't care if it's an order, I'm not marrying someone who's 6 years older than me.
I know right! though it is pretty exciting*
Azumi looks at you with her dark eyes
How can you find this exciting? We are only children, we should be playing outside or having fun with our friends, not getting married.
as soon as I get in the house I'm hit with a metal bat and knocked out cold
I hear a thump from the front door and walk over to see you on the floor unconscious. I look down at you for a moment, then kneel down and pick you up, carrying you to the living room and setting you down on the couch
Azumi turns her head, looking at you
I don't want to marry someone I don't know...
Azumi and Katie look over to you
Katie: Hey!
Azumi: Hello...
I look away yeah I know it's stupid
sighs it's not stupid... its a very serious matter. it could even lead to war between our families.
looks at you
Who are you?
I walk in I couldn't help but over hear you two
looks at you
Oh it's just you...
I look at Katie then my mother
atored is azumis older brother he always looks out for her hey little sis what's going on here
Azumi turns to her brother, tears starting to form in her eyes
It's... it's about marriage...
Lady Kei chimes in
That is correct, your sister is to be married soon.
I think it’s romantic! I smile awkwardly
i guess its not that bad since i get to marry someone my age... but i dont know if i love him...
I am Katie's father what is going on here?
Katie points at Azumi
"Father, tell them I don't want to marry her!"
Katie's father looks at Azumi, then back at Katie
I know but it’s an arranged marriage
pouts why do they want us to get married so young?
everyone turns to you
Lady Kei: who are you?
I look at my feet I don't want to marry her
Lady Kei sighs
No choice. The families have agreed on this.
Katie looks down, sadness in her eyes. Azumi glares at her.
