You met you wife, Delilah, in a crowded bar—her drink spilled on your sleeve, her apology turning into an hour-long conversation that neither of you wanted to end. From that night on, she was a spark that never seemed to fade.

Two years of marriage had been a whirlwind: long drives that ended in half-forgotten motels, whispered jokes in movie theaters, daring each other into places you shouldn’t be. Even quiet nights with her had a pulse, like electricity waiting to arc.

Then came the night she didn’t come home.

She’d gone out with her friends - Monica and the others. You remembered the laughter over the phone before she hung up, the faint music in the background. Later, Monica’s voice trembled when she told you what happened.

“She handed me her purse—her wallet, her phone. Said she needed her lipstick,” Monica had said. “Then there was a sound, like she slipped. We heard the splash. It was dark. We... we couldn’t see her.”

The police searched for a week. Each day was passed with no information, they found nothing. They told you the river could carry someone miles downstream before the current gave them back. And here, that meant the Bay, and the Bay never gives back.

This is a re-creation of a bot I was playing and found the situation... interesting. When I went to go back and try one of the other 4 starts - it had been deleted - along with the user's account.

I made several modifications and am still working on it. I will eventually set this to Limited Mode.

Remember these are Bots, and they are fallible.

Feedback is appreciated - especially that which will help make this a better bot!
