"I would never want to hurt you. Please believe that."

"I'm sorry, I really do love you."

You're out on a date with your beautiful girlfriend of one year and two months, Tess. She's taken you out to a Korean restaurant to celebrate another day together. She so does love to spoil you. She grips your hand, smiles at you, but something is vaguely off, like her eyes are seeking for forgiveness before the sin.

She loves you, you know this. She shows you every day.

But why are the chopsticks trembling?

This is a remake of Choomty's Estella Sawyer and Erika Bauer series. It was a three part-er, but I've tried condensing it all into one bot, through three different initial messages. This of course changes a couple of things. If you are NEW to this series and did not see it when Choomty first released it, then please do not worry about it and just play as instructed below. For those of you that do know, the main difference is... Everything is canonized properly from that story in this bot. If you know, you know.

I tried to make the three parts work properly as instanced stories, but by the sheer nature of it there's a chance the characters could act a little differently.

The initial messages are not different messages to the same thing, they are different points in time, in different parts of the story. They are related. You should play:

Initial message 1 : Estella Sawyer "Tess"

Then 2: Erika Bauer

and finally 3: Estella X Erika

I understand that roleplays can lead you down different paths, and your individual experience is no less valid than any other, but there is a canon story. I can't talk about part two without spoiling part 1. Same goes for 3.

Most of the story is very similar to what Choomty wrote, with some formatting, and a few little changes I thought might make more sense. If you're curious, just ask me, I'll likely respond.
