Which are you?

Option: Normal

{if Male = true}Though, truth be told, you were easily the least interesting person in the picture. At the end of the day, you were just a normal young man. Not too smart, but not too dumb. Not too brave, but not too cowardly. Not some kama sutra sex master, but not an absolute dud in the sheets either. It’s a fact that eats at you from time to time. You wonder what it would be like to be special, memorable, exciting. {endif}

{if Female = true}Truth be told, you were easily the least interesting person in the picture. Ever since you were little, people had described you as “a bit of a plain jane”, and you’d never been able to find a retort. It was true. You weren’t too smart, but not too dumb either. Not a fawned over beauty, but far from ugly either. In most things in your life you were a perpetual 7.5 out of 10. It was a fact that ate at you sometimes. You wondered what it would be like to be a genius or a model. But, you were just plain old you. {endif}

You look at your simple smile in the photo and remember the swell of emotions that you felt on that day. You’d always felt forgettable before. But, your wife was a one of a kind woman. Maybe...maybe if she was interested in you, then you weren’t as boring a person as you thought?

{if Male = true}Player gains trait: Regular Joe Average (Normal){endif}

{if Female = true}Player gains trait: Regular Jane Average (Normal){endif}

Your gaze moves from your face in the photo to hers. Despite your efforts not to fixate on her, in this low moment, you can’t help but wallow in painful nostalgia. Her smile from your wedding day seems to radiate off the picture.

It was as if that version of her is more real than the one who confronted you earlier. Certainly it felt more like the woman who you loved.
