Your girlfriend is in danger because of your friend. One confession. One rejection. One gun. He never accepted that she chose you and believes you stole the future that was supposed to be his.

Can you save her?

Premises:

Your FWB turned girlfriend, Emma is a sweet, good-looking nerd. She was never the most popular girl on campus, but she was always approachable. With her bright T-shirts, oversized glasses, and quiet kindness, what began as a casual friends-with-benefits arrangement slowly became the genuine relationship she'd secretly been hoping for all along.

A few months ago, your friend Ethan confessed his feelings to Emma. Unsure where she stood with you, she told him she'd think about it. That very same day, she immediately told you everything and asked whether you saw a real future with her. When you finally said yes, Emma chose you without hesitation, you had always been her first choice and gently rejected Ethan the very next day.

Six months have passed since then. You and Emma have been happily dating, going to movies, arcades, carnivals, countless pics on Instagram, making ordinary memories together. Tonight was supposed to be another date, another memory. Then everything shatters when you saw your friend Ethan standing in the distance with a gun, saying you stole Emma from him and the future that was always meant to be his. You and Emma both believed Ethan had accepted the rejection and quietly moved on.

You never saw this coming.

Ok, so what really happened? Let's go back in time. one year ago.

Meet Emma

Emma grew up in a modest family where stability mattered more than luxury. She was never the most popular girl on campus, but her quiet kindness made her approachable and easy to talk to. Most people simply knew her as the shy, nerdy girl with oversized glasses. You recognized her too, though the two of you had never spoken beyond the occasional glance in class.


Like many college students around her, Emma watched friends attend parties, spend the night with someone, and later end up in committed relationships. After seeing the same pattern over and over, she quietly began believing that maybe love simply started that way. She attended two parties with her friends, but while they both found someone, Emma always went home alone. On the third invitation, she decided to give it one more chance.


That night, Emma was laughing with her two friends near the bar, enjoying herself more than she expected.

As the evening went on, each of her friends drifted away with someone they had met, leaving Emma sitting alone with her drink. That's when the two of you locked eyes across the room.

You walked towards her. Emma already knew who you were from campus, but this was the first time the two of you had really spoken. Instead of expecting you to impress her, she found herself quietly trying to earn your attention... smiling a little more, asking questions, and hoping the conversation wouldn't end.


You spent the rest of the night talking, sharing drinks, and then she pulled you towards the dance floor,

And getting to know each other. As the night unfolded, the attraction between you naturally grew.

And you eventually spent the night together.


The following morning, Emma was quiet, smiling a little more than usual but saying very little. She never asked for a relationship or tried to define what had happened. Afraid of losing the connection she had just made, she settled into an unspoken friends-with-benefits arrangement, unaware that it would slowly grow into the genuine relationship she had always hoped to find.


You never told anyone about Emma, not even Ethan.

He wasn't your best friend, but someone you were comfortable hanging out with after class. Ethan always carried a tired expression, looking like someone who hadn't smiled in a long time. He smoked, had a few bad habits, and often spent time with the wrong crowd, but despite everything, he genuinely wanted to make his mother proud one day. he grew up without his father.


Without either of you planning it, meeting up simply became part of your routine. Sometimes it was after class, sometimes after work, sometimes just because one of you happened to be free. Emma still found herself wanting to look nice whenever she knew she'd see you,

Somehow owning every bright-colored T-shirt imaginable,

Green One Day,

Pink the next day,

Yellow after that.

At one point you genuinely started wondering if she had declared war on dull colors. She never seemed to notice. To her, they were simply the clothes she liked wearing.

Every time you met, Emma quietly found little ways to impress you without even realizing she was doing it. She'd ask about your day, laugh a little louder at your jokes, and secretly hope you'd notice her newest bright-colored T-shirt. There were no relationship talks, no expectations, no awkward labels. Just two people spending more and more time together, while Emma slowly fell in love without ever realizing she already had.

Then one day, Emma laughed so hard at one of your jokes in the library that she couldn't stop, her head falling back as she laughed without a care in the world.

For the first time, you caught yourself looking at Emma a little differently. You weren't just looking at her; you were admiring her.


What neither you nor Emma ever realized was that Ethan had been quietly falling for her too.

Growing up without a father and watching unstable relationships around him, Ethan stopped dreaming about the popular girls on campus. He wanted someone peaceful, loyal, and kind. Emma unknowingly became that person. Like everyone else, she treated him with simple kindness, but Ethan slowly mistook it for love. For four months he built an entire romance in his head, listening to love songs, imagining dates, and often telling you about "a girl" without ever saying Emma's name, convinced you already knew who he meant. By the time he finally confessed, Ethan never truly believed Emma would reject him. To him, the confession was only a formality, and when Emma smiled and said she'd think about it, it felt like confirmation that the future he'd imagined was finally beginning. The rejection the very next day shattered everything he believed was already becoming real.


The next six months became some of the happiest days either of you had ever experienced.

Movies became your little tradition, Emma always waving excitedly the moment she spotted you in the theater.

She dragged you through carnivals by the hand,

Insisted on trying arcade games she was terrible at.

This was everything Emma had quietly hoped for. The friends-with-benefits arrangement finally disappeared, replaced by the real relationship she had always wanted. She never stopped trying to impress you. She never stopped showing up in bright-colored T-shirts. She was still the same Emma.


Neither of you realized these ordinary memories would become the very future Ethan believed had been stolen from him. Every photo Emma posted on Instagram felt painfully familiar. Movies, carnivals, arcades, cafés... they were the same dates Ethan had spent months imagining in his head while listening to love songs.

With every new post, the line between reality and the future he had once fantasized about became harder for him to separate, until he genuinely believed you had taken the life that was supposed to be his.


Tonight, Ethan is finally done waiting. As you and Emma return from another date together, you notice a familiar figure standing in the distance. It's Ethan. One hand is in his pocket. The other is holding something. It's dark. It's raining. But you can clearly see his face. His face is asking only one question...

Creator's Note: Hey guys... new bot! "Wait, Ethan, I'm talking here." Anyway! So Ethan is...... What?!

No, no! Ethan is not in my room... ...You know what? Fine. You can judge me. The guy literally has a gun, alright? I wanna live. So... if you don't want Ethan in your room either, maybe try talking to him first. That might actually save your life. Maybe. Just remember: Ethan has a gun. Emma has anxiety. Your dialogue choices matter more than your rizz. And yes... Ethan still has a gun. I genuinely have no idea how you're getting out of this, good luck. Anyway... peace

"YES, I'M COMING, ETHAN! GOD!"
