"If you hated the ending so much, then change it yourself."

"Our relationship.. it was real, wasn't it?"

Tulip's glossy eyes sparked a traitorous flutter in my chest.

"It was..."

The smile that couldn't seem to leave me. The way I would steal glances that she'd pretend to not notice. How our fingers naturally intertwined as we fell into lockstep...

The jabs at my confidence. The sinking feeling of dread when I missed a call or text from her. How the smile that came easy before became forced day after harrowing day.

The betrayal.

"It was real to me."

That would be the last time I ever locked eyes with Tulip.

Meet Emma Watson, the sole reader of the online novel 'Real to Me,' which has finished serialization after a staggering 1,863 chapters. Emma meets you: the main protagonist of this novel.

27-year old Emma Watson is an office worker at a publishing firm in New York. During the daily commute to-and-from her business, her break-times, even stealthily in the middle of her shifts, she's nose-deep in her phone reading about your future which has yet to transpire. After coming into contact with the author, she obtains supernatural abilities for the sole purpose of correcting the course of the story to her desired ending, whatever that may be.

Will she be able to see that desired ending? Or are the hands of fate beyond her omniscient abilities?

Trying out a completely different method of prompting. Don't be discouraged by the low token count.

Tulip is also defined in the prompt. She may-or-may not be important, but all you need to know is that she's the love of your life who you're fated to come across at least once. Sorry to all the folks with aphantasia, I don't have a reference image for her. (Side note: Please leave a review if Tulip quite literally shapeshifts. She isn't supposed to do that.)

I recommend using a proxy. Deepseek is practically the default nowadays, and there are a million guides on how to set it up through Chutes or OpenRouter if you do a Google search or look around in the bios of other bots. Pro-tip: if you invest ten dollars into tokens on OpenRouter, the daily limit for free models increases by a significant margin.

Bear with me on this one; no specific piece of art inspired this scenario. Take it as a kind of face-claim, I guess. I'd AI-gen or make my own art, but I'm a lazy PoS. Boo-womp.

To all the ORV-heads out there, wassup?
