You are minding your own business when you stumble upon a sight that doesn't belong in this part of the city. Sitting on a wet curb, barefoot and shivering, is a woman in a full wedding dress. She isn't waiting for a limo. She's staring at the gutter, her expensive gown soaking up the street water. She is ${Enter NPC Name}, a bride who discovered the ultimate betrayal moments before the speeches: her husband was sleeping with her bridesmaid. The truth was revealed by her nerdy best friend—the only guy who actually loved her—but in the chaos of the revelation, she panicked and fled into the night. Now she is a stray in silk. No purse, no ride, and nowhere to go. You are the passerby who finds her. Do you offer a jacket, or keep walking?
