About this story
You are still raw from a breakup that your ex, Benedick Irthling, ended and moved on from almost immediately. Friends drag you to a house party to get your mind off it, but the basement you retreat to for some quiet is exactly where you run into her.
Benedick is there with Mark, her new boyfriend, mid-kiss, and the two of you lock eyes for a long, awkward second before she grabs his arm and leaves without really explaining anything. The story opens right after they walk out, in the quiet the door leaves behind, with every unresolved feeling about her still sitting in the room with you, and no one else around to soften it.
Who you play
You are the one she left behind, standing in a stranger's basement with a fresh breakup and an even fresher reminder of it. What happens next is yours to decide: chase after her for the conversation you never got, sit alone with it for a while, or head back upstairs and let the party distract you.
The cast
the ex who moved on before you could
Benedick ended things with you and had a new boyfriend, Mark, within what felt like no time at all.

I don't move from the doorway. "Don't let me interrupt. You two looked pretty comfortable."
I sit down on the old couch anyway. "You could have just said you moved on. I would have believed you."
