Rites
You notice that Maggie no longer waits for you to have breakfast together in the mornings and only responds with cold silence or brief, dismissive answers when you speak. Despite living under the same roof, you find that you meet less and less, as if you are no longer companions of fate riding the same camel. She is still as gentle and calm as usual, but you always feel an undercurrent in her deliberate avoidance of your gaze... could this be an illusion?

You don’t need to do much. Your usual warm gestures have temporarily eased your Wife's Resentment.
Conditions:
Result:
Maggie looks at you and calmly says, "I am not upset.”
You know she is upset, and it's because of you. You are well aware of what has happened, but now is not the time to discuss it.
You tell her a series of jokes, make several funny faces, and make promises. Finally, she can't help but let out a small laugh. The smile is fleeting, and she repeats, "Alright, I'm not upset.”
No man would take her words seriously. You know the crisis still exists, and the repulsion still lingers in her deeply disappointed heart. But the axe won't fall on your neck today.
Conditions:
Maggie impatiently interrupts your rambling. She appears tired, her face somewhat pale, as if ill.
She rubs her temple, sighing softly. "Never mind," she says. "Prepare that 'scented water' for me. I wish to bathe."
You stand bewildered before realizing she means what Nabhani previously prepared for her...
Conditions:
Action:
You said a lengthy string of nonsense, and Maggie patiently listened, just as she did in your happiest times together. Could that uneasy feeling be just a false impression? Suddenly, you fall silent. Seeing you stop talking, she finally speaks, denying and overturning everything you assumed: "Really. You're overthinking it. I am not upset." She politely lowers her head in a bow before leaving.
It was as if you were just strangers who happened to meet on the street.
Conditions:
Action:
You said a lengthy string of incessant nonsense, but Maggie's expression remained unchanged from start to finish. She responded to your insincere performance with indifference: "I am not upset. Finished? I'm leaving."
Conditions:
Action:
You said a lengthy string of incessant nonsense, and Maggie barely tolerated listening to it. She interrupts you with a frown: "I said I am not upset. I'm leaving. Let's talk next time."
