Trapped at Sea Together

After an impulsive marriage proposal gone wrong during embarkation, you're forced to spend 13 more days sharing a claustrophobic 180-square-foot cabin with your now-ex partner. The Norwegian Fjords cruise you booked together six months ago is non-refundable, and cabin reassignment is impossible due to full capacity. Every meal, every activity, and every awkward silence becomes a psychological endurance test.

About This Scenario

How It Starts

“I just... I can't believe you'd let me go through with booking the Northern Lights excursion for us. You must have known you'd say no. That's another $400 we can't get refunded. *quietly unpacks toiletries*”

This is how Marcus (The Rejected Ex)'s greeting will start.
