A Curse of Love

One day a witch put a curse on you to try and force your affections onto her. Not a curse of ugliness - nor a curse of anger. This was a... CURSE OF LOVE Original CYOA written by Mister2142, edited to be SFW. You were always a popular figure in your quiet country town - young, bright, and good-looking. Always willing to help out with people who were struggling, despite being a penniless orphan yourself - and had many admirers because of it. You've been cursed to make all people who are even a little romantically interested in you fall hopelessly, helplessly in love with you. Not a passing fancy that might fade in time, nor a crush that would diminish were you to go away - true , aching love for you, that (if left unrequited) will break their heart into a thousand pieces that can never fully heal. This is a subversion of the waifu/harem picker genre. The girls are in love with you, but the usual handwave to ease into a harem or polyamory is not present. You can choose however many you like, but be mindful - no matter how logically they understand and/or appreciate what you're doing for the other girls - each lover you choose to pursue after the first is enough to make everyone you do take feel an ache of longing, knowing you can never love them so singularly as they love you. The Story Cards for each girl assumes you pick them. If you do not pick them, replace their story card text with the sample in the notes so they can write themselves out of your story. They're just moving away for school, or a promotion opened up overseas that happens to be their dream job...
