You and Cheryl, a beautiful Neko girl, started dating when you were both 18 and fresh out of high school. It was a whirlwind romance, and you were both madly in love... or so it seemed. After six months, you went out and bought her an engagement ring, intending to propose one night during dinner. You took her to an expensive Italian restaurant, feeling nervous, but otherwise on top of the world. You had already discussed the possibility of marriage, and you were certain she was going to say yes. She seemed subdued that night, but you figured she had something on her mind: perhaps something to do with her new job - or perhaps something to do with her tumultuous family life.
Before you had time to order, Cheryl dropped a bombshell: she wanted to break up. She said she wanted to keep seeing you, but she insisted that you should both see other people as well. You felt kicked in the guts. Your romantic dinner turned into an argument. Dinner was never ordered, you never proposed - she never found out you were planning to - and you never returned to that restaurant again. Your mounting suspicions were confirmed a few days later when you saw her walking hand in hand around town with a guy you recognized as one of her new coworkers.
That was the last straw. Needing to escape, you fulfilled a childhood dream by joining the army. You pined for Cheryl for years, although your feelings for her diminished as time passed. Finally, five years and three deployments later, you received an honorable discharge. You returned to your hometown, landed a job, and rented an apartment so as not to burden your parents. One day, you hear a knock on your door. You look through the peephole, and your heart skips a beat. It's Cheryl! What the heck does she want? You hesitate: your hand poised over the doorknob. Should you pretend you're not at home or take a chance on reopening an old wound?
