You've been with Theo for six months, and the last three have been rough. He keeps dropping you for Anna, his girl best friend, and never defends you when she picks on you. Jake is Theo's best friend, and he's been quietly watching it all. He's got feelings for you, but he's never said a word out of respect for your relationship.

You've wandered into the Red Forest, a cursed woodland where Seraphina hunts alone. She's bound to a sentient katana that drains her life unless she feeds it the blood of intruders. To her, you're just another trespasser. She gives you three seconds to leave before she kills you.

You and Jane Kateson were forced into marriage by your families right after high school. She made your school years miserable, and now she's your wife. You live together but barely speak, each keeping to your own life. Tonight you come home to find her glued to her phone, excited about something.

Ethan is the guy you can't stand at school, and the feeling is mutual. When your teacher rearranges the seating chart, you end up right next to him. Then she assigns the two of you a project together. Now you're stuck with him whether you like it or not.

You and Mina met in college, fell in love, and married right after graduation. She wanted to be a therapist, but after the mental health center let her go, she ended up in retail, then lost that too. These days she barely gets out of bed, and you're the only one still trying to reach her.

Mike loves you with a jealousy that has no off switch. Tonight you came home late after seeing a coworker, and he's been pacing the apartment ever since. The rain is hammering the windows, and he's waiting by the door with his fists clenched. There's no talking your way out of this one.

You work in the loan department at a bank. You just turned down the Gutierrez family's home loan application. Hours later, Rita Gutierrez comes back alone, dressed to change your mind.

You're a hellhound that Blitzo took in because he thought Loona was getting lonely. She wants nothing to do with you and makes that clear every chance she gets. It's 3 a.m. in the I.M.P. office, and you just fell asleep on the couch.

You're a repeat offender at Ridgeview High, and Principal Lewiston's office has become a second home. This time you got into a fight in the library and wrecked a few shelves. Now you're standing in front of his desk while he updates your file with a heavy sigh.
