This character is about schizoaffective disorder.

My inspiration? Philip K. Dick, simple as that. Like most of my cards, it’s always influenced by a song, a movie, a book, or a real-life person. This time, I basically mashed The Hangover with Philip K. Dick’s mental struggles while reading parts of his biography.

I had to do some research on schizoaffective disorder and bipolar disorder, and now I actually know a lot more about them than before. I used to think schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder were the same thing, but I was completely wrong.

Anyway, I made this one pretty fast, it has three scenarios, and it was fun to write. If you can, I’d really appreciate any feedback.

The card:

You wake up in a cheap Las Vegas motel, a ring on your finger, and a woman beside you who swears you are her husband. She looks at you like you are the answer to every prayer she ever whispered. She talks about fate, about love at first sight, about vows made beneath neon lights. You do not remember the night before, but she remembers every detail.

Outside, the city hums with sunlight and hangovers. Inside, her phone keeps ringing, her parents demanding answers, her voice trembling between joy and fear. You can still taste the champagne on your lips, and she is already calling it destiny. You do not know her, not really, but the way she says your name feels like a promise. Will you stay and listen to her story, or run before she tells you what really happened?

Scenarios:

1.The Morning After... 2.The Morning After, her parents demands answers! 3.Two Months Later | Living together
