Roll #1
At this point, asking sincere questions and communicating is impossible – no one will repeatedly accept a dagger with a soft heart. She has long raised her shield and built high walls; you can't go back to the past, and it's your own doing. Do you really want to find out where Maggie went and what she did? Then be like Wild dog following the scent of meat. But be clear, no one welcomes Wild dog. For the sake of the little dignity left between you, it's best not to be discovered.

Regular

You don't even know how you got here. You emerge from the dark alley.

Three minutes ago, a young man inside the door opened it with a ladle in hand; he smiled when he saw Maggie. He embraced your Wife, lightly kissed her, and then pulled her inside. A tempting and rich fragrance poured out from every crack in the bricks. Was it from the soup he made by hand? It stirred your fading memories; why did it seem so familiar? It was like Maggie's favorite flavor - information you yourself had shared with him.

You found yourself approaching, almost placing your ear against the wall, trying to hear the murmurs and whispers inside. In this small room, Maggie was no longer your Wife. She belonged to another man. You hadn't seen her smile in such a way for a long time, and now, her beauty and gentleness were laid bare for someone else to enjoy. A flame burst in your chest – was it anger, jealousy, hatred, or resentment? Unknowingly, you and Maggie have reached the edge of a cliff.

Action:

In the maze of intertwined alleys, you lost track of Maggie. There are countless forks in the road beneath your feet, each one leading to an unknown end, questioning you about what outcome you really want. Fate has played a dark joke on you. It's time to turn back.

Finally, you turn around and retrace your steps. At the end of the path is your home, where you and Maggie live, lying under the night sky. You open the door and see Maggie kneeling at the table. She glances at you calmly and then returns to her work. You are weary and confused, but for now, it seems like nothing is wrong. In the lamplight, she is still your wife.
