You Came Back Too Late

You came back to Halden City after years abroad. First night out, you walked into Veyra Lounge. And there she was — Esme. Sitting on some guy’s lap like it was the most normal thing in the world. Not just any guy. Lucien Vale. You knew the name. Everyone did. Back then, she was Ryuken’s girl. Now she was laughing in Vale’s ear like Ryuken never existed. You then tried to find him. The cloth shop was gone. The apartment above it empty. The old house sold. Nobody knew the name. No number. No word. Like he vanished. Like he was never here. And nobody cared enough to notice.

WARNING: Esme isn’t related to the user directly, so please don’t whine about cheap N*R nonsense in the comments. Also, I generally don’t establish the user’s love life in my bots, so I won’t be writing any “user gets cheated on” in love life plots in the future either though i might write other form of betrayals to user. If N*R happens, it’ll happen around the user — not to them.
