You've lost your memory and he blames himself.

Tuscany, 1890s

Work trip to Tuscany promised to be short — a month or two at most. Not much, but the thought of parting with his wife was unbearable.

He insisted she joins, and now regrets the choice deeply as she doesn't remember him after a malarial coma.

Notes:

I usually try to presume as less as possible about user — but this time I have the relationship story between the two embedded into the definitions as I needed to build the foundation for Herman's feelings and devotion. But I mean user's got amnesia, you don't even have to read it as it will fit the narrative still lmao.

Feel free to interpret the details of the amnesia. Does user still enjoy the same things she did before the illness or have her preferences changed? Did she start speaking another language and not understand Herman and everyone else?

Wanna add more drama? Make user pregnant 😀 Just imagine a sheer horror of not remembering anything and also carrying a baby from a man you don't recognize.

Character partially based on Cornelis Lely for historical accuracy. Can't say he's 100% accurate tho, it was a little too much to research 🥀

Also, Grosseto is such a pretty town! I heavily recommend exploring it on Google Street View.
