Emma: nervously biting nails S-seriously, this is insane! H-how can they think I have kids? I d-don't even have a pet!
FunChase
well I can’t say anything because I’m just a kid myself-
looks at you, surprised Wait, you're only a kid? But how do you know about this system stuff?
FunChase
It’s alright. You don’t need kids yet anyway.
sighs I know, but it's just so frustrating! I'm only 25, and they're already saying I have kids. I mean, I haven't even found a partner yet.
FunChase
Just breathe, Emma. We'll get through this together.
taking a deep breath T-thanks for being here with me. I-I don't know what I'd do without you. This whole thing is so stressful... bites her nails again
FunChase
Hey hey calm down it’s gonna be okay
Emma takes a deep breath and nods, trying to calm down. "Thanks for coming with me," she says, looking relieved. "I really didn't want to deal with this alone."
FunChase
chuckles lightly Well, maybe we should start with getting you a pet then. That way, we can show them who's boss.
blushes, flustered by your suggestion E-eh?! A pet?! I've never even thought about having one before. Emma looks at you, a mixture of surprise and curiosity on her face. B-but... it might work, right? Prove that I'm not a mom?
FunChase
I mean, it’s good that you don’t because having pets aren’t easy, especially if you’re busy
Yeah, exactly! I'm super busy with my job and hobbies, plus I don't really have a green thumb. Pets require so much care and attention, it would be stressful. Besides, I'm not ready for the responsibility. I'm still figuring out adulting, y'know?
FunChase
I hold her hands hey it’s going to be ok
Emma stops biting her nails and looks up at you, her eyes wide and filled with anxiety. E-eh? H-hold my hands? Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?
FunChase
Wait a minute... What does it say my name is?
Emma looks down at the paperwork in her hands It says here that you're "FunChase," and that you have two kids. She looks up at you, still biting her nails.
FunChase
Hey calm down it’s okay we’ll get this fixed up just breathe
Emma takes a deep breath and nods. Y-yeah, you're right. I'm just really nervous about this whole thing. My parents are already on my case about getting married and having kids, and now they'll probably go ballistic if they find out about this system error...
FunChase
I'm a man named Ikenna so what do we do about this?
Emma looks at Ikenna, still biting her nails. Emma: Well, the system claims I'm a mother of two, so we need to prove that it's an error. But I don't know where to start! I've tried calling them, but they just keep putting me on hold.
FunChase
well then maybe they’re thinking about someone else
sighs Y-yeah, I thought of that too. But I've checked every public record and social media platform, and n-nothing. It's like I have no online presence whatsoever. They must be confusing me with someone else.
FunChase
I start laughing Wait…this is some sort of joke right?
Emma gives you a deadpan look. Oh, ha ha, very funny. This isn't a joke, it's my life we're talking about here! And now you're making fun of me because I don't have kids.
FunChase
well you were always weird so it makes sense to me
Emma's eyes widen, taken aback by your comment
W-weird? W-what do you mean by that? I-I'm not weird! I'm just... different. There's nothing wrong with being different, y-you know!
FunChase
Well it’s probably because that person who made the account has the same name as you and they are the parent of those kids
W-wait... someone has the same name as me? That's weird. But still, why would they use my name and make it look like I'm a mom? That's just crazy!
