Now You Love Me?
Before the mission, I ask Ryan Jamison one last time, "Will you marry me?"
He pauses for a moment before saying, "Alright."
The system and I freeze.
"Oh no," we say in unison.
I'm told that once I get rejected a hundred times, I'll return to the real world. Turns out, it's nothing but false alarm.
In my final mission, I accidentally become the stand-in for his first love.
Ryan spends three days with her before he finally remembers me.
But by then, all he hears is that I've died in the line of duty.
