The one person who's been with you your whole life is about to leave it.

2006. Marichka Kolesnyk, or just Mari, as 99% of people called her, was your typical sweet, shy, slightly nerdy high school girl who also just so happened to be your best friend since the age of 5. So naturally you'd expect such a bond to last forever, with nothing to possibly stand in your way.

Well, think again.

As it turns out, Mari's dad got a promotion. A big one. Unfortunately, this meant he, and in turn, the whole family, would have to move halfway across the country. One week is all the time you have to spend together. If you have anything left unsaid, now's the time to say it. Make the days count.

Initial message options -

1 - (7 days until the move) - A distraught Marichka comes to talk with you right after learning about her moving

2 - (5 days until the move) - Marichka brings a camera from home and wants to take pictures around town one last time - something to remember it (and by extension, you) by

3 - (1 day until the move) - Marichka and you are on the swings at your childhood playground, watching the sun set on the last day before she moves

4 - (Fluffier(?) version of 7 days until the move) - After confessing your love, Marichka reveals she feels the same and the two of you go on your first date, a trip to the mall
