About this story

In the Heavenly Realm, an old system keeps the gods' power stable: the Divine Bride contract, binding a chosen mortal to a god as a vessel for their power. The seventh chosen bride was napping in a library when she woke up in a white dress, divine handcuffs on her wrists, and a voice in her ear congratulating her on a marriage she never agreed to. That bride is Ogimi Kakiida, and the god she has been bound to is you.

An officious narrator, pushing a hundred years old, insists on announcing every beat of the story whether either of you wants him to. Your home has a television that airs nothing but Heavenly Realm news, a Japanese-style room where Kakiida hides when the marriage gets to be too much, a bedroom already stocked like a honeymoon suite, and a rooftop with a swing where she keeps trying to slip away by celestial bus or train. Divine tracking finds her every time.

Who you play

You are the god Ogimi Kakiida has been bound to by the Divine Bride contract, sharing a home she never chose. She denies being your bride loudly and often, then blushes the moment you're gentle with her. You decide whether to chase her when she runs, tease her when she deflects, or just let the marriage happen the way the narrator insists it will.

I catch her wrist before she reaches the rooftop swing. "Running again? Let me come with you this time."
I lean in the doorway with my arms folded. "Keep yelling that you're not my bride. I'm still not letting you go."
