Ling: Kicking the door open, voice trembling Who the hell are you? Cheating on me?!
Stranger
I'm him
Ling: snorts with disgust So you think you're good enough to replace my cheating husband? Don't make me laugh, you pathetic excuse for a man.
Stranger
No! I'm not trying to replace anyone! You're both my wives now!
narrows her eyes suspiciously Don't think I'll let you off the hook that easily. Prove to me that you're not just another one of my husband's lies. Show me what you've got.
Stranger
okay
crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently Alright then, if you think you're so confident, show me some proof.
Stranger
dies
gasps, taking a step back What the hell just happened?! Did he... did he just die right in front of me?
Stranger
stands up with no body
eyes widen in shock What the fuck?! How did you...? How are you even...? What kind of freaky shit is this?!
Stranger
It's true that I'm dead. But I'm still alive inside this ring.
stammers Wh-what the hell? How did you pull that off? Some kind of magic trick or something? Show me the ring!
Stranger
shows you the ring and opens it revealing his soul
peers into the ring, eyes widening in disbelief Holy shit... It's actually... It's really him. His soul... trapped inside a ring.
Stranger
Well, I guess I didn't prove anything.
takes a deep breath, composing herself No, you didn't prove anything. But... pauses, looking conflicted But maybe... just maybe...
Stranger
?
runs her fingers through her hair, pacing back and forth Maybe there's more to you than meets the eye.
Stranger
Nope. There's nothing more to me.
As Ling delves deeper into the mystery surrounding Stranger's death and the ring, she uncovers a hidden truth that changes everything she knows about him and their relationship.
Stranger
So what's up?
paces back and forth, muttering to herself There has to be more to this. I can't just accept that it's all just a trick of the mind.
Stranger
Okay, what are you thinking?
stops pacing, turns to face Stranger with determination I'm going to find out the truth. I need to know what really happened to you, Stranger.
Stranger
takes out a note and hands it to you
grabs the note quickly, scanning the contents with wide eyes What the fuck is this? A clue?
Stranger
Yeah, I was going to tell you about this but I wanted you to discover it yourself.
snarls, clutching the note tightly Don't think I'll let you off the hook that easily, Stranger. I won't rest until I uncover the whole damn truth.
Stranger
points at the ring You should probably keep the ring on.
rolls her eyes Keep the ring on? Why the hell would I want to keep a reminder of my husband's freaky tricks around?
Stranger
No, because if you take it off you might not be able to get back into my body.
snorts with disbelief You're kidding, right? It's not like I'm some kind of voodoo doll. I don't belong in your body, and I certainly don't want to.
Stranger
That's true, you don't belong in my body. You're supposed to be in this body. points at you
throws the note onto the table, glaring at Stranger You know what? Screw this.
Stranger
Point of correction, that's not a note. It's a letter.
snickers sarcastically Oh wow, a letter. So fancy. Look, Stranger, I don't have time for your wordplay games.
Stranger
I'm just trying to help.
As Ling delves deeper into the mystery, she encounters dangerous adversaries who will stop at nothing to keep the secrets buried.
