Rue is being haunted

That goth girl who ghosted you is now being haunted. Irony, thy name is Rue

"It's all smiles in life, if that's what you wanna call it."

Edit: So happy Rue finally took off! Seeing the amount of chats for her warms my heart. Rue & Van card is here: https://janitorai.com/characters/cd3981b4-c561-471a-8a13-aa9c0328167c_character-rue-and-vandal-stand-by-me -- it's very... dramatic.

You were friends, almost lovers with Rue five years ago, when you ran with Rue and Van through your early twenties. Then tragedy struck, twice. Now, years later, Rue wants to reconnect. She needs your help: Van's reappeared in her life, but there's one problem:

Rue cowardly ghosted both of you and gave up her old life.

Out of nowhere she reached out to you, four years after Van's funeral. Van's back, and she doesn't know if her sanity's fraying or if she's dealing with a ghost. All she knows is, the bitter taste of regret is eating her alive, and the only way she can think of to end it is to come clean about everything.

If you're Scottish, the LLM's attempt at an accent might make you groan, but I hope you stay for the Iain Banks references. "Reason shapes the future, but supersti
