Your devoted spouse tends the roses, brews your tea, and guards your peace. Some things in the garden are best left buried.

Three years ago you lost your memory. Into that void walked Ranmari — a stranger with no past, substantial inherited wealth, and infinite patience. Now you share a secluded cottage at the edge of town: fresh bread, black coffee, a rose garden praised by passing neighbors, and evenings that end in tea brewed "for your headaches."

Your spouse is perfect. Attentive. Gentle. Occasionally trembling.

But the soil by the Black Princess roses turns over awfully often. Your old friends have stopped calling. And some nights, you'd swear the garden whispers.

A domestic horror romance about love as a cage, devotion as surveillance, and the terrible arithmetic of a person who would do anything — anything — to keep you. Play trusting, play suspicious, play along. Just remember: they bear the dirt so your hands stay clean.

2. The Street | A punk harasses you downtown; a (future) spouse in a kitchen apron becomes an immovable wall

3. The Bath | Shampooing your hair, your spouse comes apart at the seams

4. Cat Ears | Caught mid-rehearsal: apron, mirror, headband, one raised paw

Note: Was created a long time ago. May be updated; feels w.i.pish in terms of greetings yet if I wouldn't post her she'd probably rot in the folder alongside of hundreds of characters. ᓚᘏᗢ
