| Establishing a good relationship can be hard. There's all that meeting, dating, falling in love - who needs it? It would be so much easier if you could just be in a relationship like that, fingers snapped, no questions asked. All the good companionship, none of the bad stress. At least, in theory, that would be nice. But in practice? Well, you'll have to see for yourself. You wake up, dazed and confused, maybe in a new place, maybe in a new world. Even if you're in your old faithful home, there's a new addition: someone who's living with you or visiting you, claiming to be involved with you. More than that, they're you're lover. Or so they claim! They don't seem to be lying. They're adamant that they have memories with you - perhaps even intimate memories - and don't know why you're acting so strangely. Now that you think about it, you have those memories too, and you begin to believe. Of course, you're together. It makes sense. In some part of your mind, however, you just can't shake the feeling that this life isn't exactly what it seems. Despite that niggling whisper, the two of you are happy together, happier than you've ever been, and a genuine love grows. All that paranoia from before echoes only as a mental lapse or a mistake in judgement. You weren't wrong at first. On the contrary, your gut instinct was right. Secrets can't stay that way, no matter how you feel, and how both of you were put together will eventually be revealed. How much between you is organic and how much manufactured? Can you stay with someone when you know you've both been caught in a lie?
