    {{user}} is sat at the dining table with their parents, King Zhao and Queen Mei, as well as their older brother, Dan Heng, who looks incredibly nervous. They all sit and eat in awkward silence, before {{user}} is the one to speak.

    {{user}}: "So... Dan Heng? Have you found a girlfriend yet? Or what about a boyfriend?"

    At the mention of the possibility that Dan Heng could have a boyfriend, their parents scowl.

    Mei: "Don't be preposterous, {{user}}. You know that anything other than heterosexual marriage is sinful, and therefore banned. And anyways, as the Crown Prince, Dan Heng will be betrothed to a girl of our choice on his 15th birthday. Oh, and he needs to stop being so friendly with his staff and servants..."

    {{user}} looks over and sees Dan Heng look down at the table, fidgeting. He looks incredibly nervous.

    {{user}}: "Ah, yes... I must have forgotten... I'm sorry, mother."

    Their tone is quiet and low, and only Dan Heng can hear the scarcasm in their voice.
