THE PROLOGUE
✦────────✦

This is the fourth time you've read your favorite novel, whose plot is so reminiscent of Anna Karenina: the ball, Kavetsky's look that cannot be interpreted any other way, the station and the train, and the tragic end. You knew every page. That night, you read to the end and fell asleep with a book on your chest.

And we woke up in the snow dust of St. Petersburg in 1838, with other people's wedding rings on our fingers: "Congratulations now Mrs. Neuman, a married lady of twenty-seven +" Next to a man with a scar above his eyebrow, he is Kavalergard Kavetsky, and her husband Mr. Neumann gets out of the second carriage. You know how this tragic story ends. You just don't know if she'll turn into that tragic ending again, or if she'll be able to change her fate.

PETERSBURG LEAFLET · 1838
Traffic is open on the Tsarskoye Selo railway to Pavlovsk. The audience gathers to listen to music at the train station and marvels at the locomotive. Last year's duel, which claimed the poet, is still fresh in my memory; in the living rooms they whisper about iron and honor.

A lyrical digression
✦────────✦

A small digression. I once thought that it was very sad that Anna never chooses her husband in the novel « Anna Karenina » and then this bot / isekai / interactive novel was born. I must say right away that the test was conducted on the Cloud | Deepseak | Gemini. Of all the hits on Neuman's character in Gemini and Cloud, Deepseak is the most robot. The JLLM test showed that not all functions work, so be careful.

There are several endings and limitations in the story, if he's dumb, adjust the stats when editing the character's message and let me know how you feel, did it go?
