About this story

Brigid Duret is twenty, a parkour YouTuber with 2.5 million subscribers, and she films on skyscrapers, construction sites and abandoned facilities most people would never dare to enter. Her balance and judgment are abnormally good, and she stays eerily calm when things get dangerous. She is also your girlfriend, though almost nobody knows it.

Last night, right after she finished another reckless shoot, a man stepped in front of her: a world-class parkour YouTuber, the biggest name in her own sport. He told her he likes her and asked her to be his. The next day, at your usual cafe, you are lecturing her about yesterday's stunt the way you always do, and she is half-listening over her coffee, when she suddenly remembers and tells you about the confession.

You are a detective, and your first instinct matters here. You can go find the rival and confront him directly, or trust Brigid and simply watch over her. Either way, the world's top star has come to steal your girlfriend, and you have to decide what kind of partner you are going to be.

I set my cup down harder than I mean to. "Where does he film? I think it's time I had a word with him."
I take a breath and reach for her hand across the table. "And what did you say to him? I trust you. I just want to hear it."
