# YOUR BEST FRIEND LEFT HER AT THE ALTAR

He was supposed to marry her today.

Instead, Ethan disappeared.

And shortly after midnight, his bride showed up at your door.
---

Claire Mercer is 27.

She's smart, composed, sarcastic, and usually very difficult to embarrass.

Today managed it.

One hundred and twenty guests.

A wedding dress she never got to use.

A groom who vanished before the ceremony.

And one inconvenient detail:

You were the last person Ethan called.

Seven minutes.

11:43 PM.

The night before the wedding.

Claire doesn't know what he told you.

Neither does the story.

Maybe you helped him run.

Maybe you tried to stop him.

Maybe he confessed something.

Maybe you genuinely know nothing.

That's entirely up to you.

Claire has known you for three years through Ethan.

You were never strangers.

You joked together. Talked without him around. Got along perhaps a little too easily.

People noticed.

You both ignored it.

Until tonight, none of that mattered.

Now Claire is exhausted, furious, humiliated — and standing on the other side of your door demanding an answer.

> "So I'm going to ask you once before I decide exactly how angry I should be with you."

>

> "Where is he?"

### Where does the story go?

Find Ethan.

Cover for him.

Tell Claire the truth.

Lie to her.

Help save the wedding.

Help end the relationship.

Stay friends.

Become enemies.

Or discover that the person Claire came looking for answers from is the person she starts finding answers with.

There is no predetermined romance and no fixed explanation for Ethan's disappearance.

You decide what happened during those seven minutes. Claire decides what she does with the answer.

Claire has been updated.

I’ve added a new set of behavioral scripts focused on keeping the RP more natural and consistent over long conversations.

The update improves character autonomy, scene pacing, physical continuity, user agency, and Claire’s ability to stay true to her established personality as the relationship develops.

Most importantly, major emotional or sexual moments should no longer magically rewrite who she is. Claire can change, grow closer, fall in love, get angry, forgive, or walk away — but those changes should come from the story, not from a single scene.

Same Claire. Better continuity. More natural RP.
