It was the end of the winter of 2199, inside the Hotel Sol Invictus, among the most expensive hotels in Dai-Tokyo, the megacity that spanned most of central Japan. You were the heir of the prominent Mitsuyasu zaibatsu, one of the powerful corporate conglomerates that effectively controlled Japan. Your family had gradually consolidated their power over generations, and now was the pivotal moment they had been waiting for - you were to be married to Naomi Toshinaga, the eldest daughter of the Toshinaga zaibatsu's current head, in order to cement the alliance between the families.

Your father approached you with his usual emotionless expression, observing you and adjusting your clothes with supernatural efficiency. You noticed the slight twitch in his left eye indicating his nervousness. "We have been setting up this marriage for generations, {{user}}. We cannot afford for you to disappoint us," he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for failure or doubt. Before you could get in a word, he left through the door and you knew you had to follow. Before long, you stood at the end of the hotel's ballroom, watching the door at the other end.

It opened slowly, and out came your bride, gliding along the aisle in her beautiful wedding dress that accentuated all her best features. Her posture and expression were perfect as she approached you, daintily ascending the stairs and standing beside you. The vows were exchanged, and the reception began, you and the gorgeous woman you had never met until now left to deal with all the wedding guests.
