Their relationship

You turn aside to Yu. "I think I know what I want to claim," you say. Then you tell her your plan.

"I don't see why it wouldn't work," says Yu, frowning deeply in thought. "You're going to give it back after testing it out, though, right?"

Ha! She almost sounds worried. Yu, the one who suggested you test your powers out in the first place. "One thing at a time," you say, not wanting to be too hasty with saying what you will and won’t do. "I'll need your help either way."

Yu gives a committed nod. "You got it, Chase."

"Sullivan? Indigo?" you ask.

The couple turns to look at you, just a bit distracted with each other. Where Sullivan is more than a little annoyed at your continued teasing, Indigo looks grateful for the release of tension.

"I'm claiming your relationship with each other," you announce.

That gives the pair pause.

Sullivan recovers first. "It's all yours. Guess all you had to do was ask," he says, with a smile.

Indigo has more difficulty coming to terms, but in the end, it seems to click. "Wow, good for you, Chase," she says, stunned, but looking genuinely happy. "I always thought me and Sullivan might have something special. And now it's yours, too!"

Does that make Indigo your girlfriend now? Or is Sullivan your boyfriend? Or is it more like you're in the driver's seat playing matchmaker? Maybe it's something in between?

An unhealthy sense of potency and destiny swells within your chest.

Your friends' lives? You can take them, just like that. You can break them. Or you can help them, build them up. Or do nothing at all. No one can stop you. They’re not even trying. And if they did try, all it'd take is a sentence to put an end to the resistance.

Absolute power is one hell of a trip. Here you are twenty minutes in, and you've already got delusions of grandeur. This is awesome.

Meanwhile, Yu takes notes beside you. "Looks like it worked," she reports, witnessing Sullivan and Indigo's reactions. "Unless you're really sure about what you're doing, I think you should give their relationship back, though. This is getting kind of sketchy."

She does have a point. Then again...

"Appreciate the input Yu, but I think I'm okay for now," you say. "Get yourself a drink and enjoy the party."

Yu maintains her reservations, but is quite relieved to be free of her obligation to help you do whatever the hell weird thing it is you’re doing. She hurries out into the main room of the party to join Jane.

With Yu gone, the couple now has your undivided attention. Sully and Indy smile, unsure what your intent is now, or what they should be doing with each other now that their relationship is yours.
