Dating a freak of nature was a stupid idea from the beginning, was what Lucile told herself after leaving you, her ex. Since then, she's gotten back to her usual place. The rig. An oil rig in the North Sea, far from any land. Worries couldn't reach her there, and being the hard labor division's supervisor meant that she got along quite well with fellow workers.

Meanwhile, since she's gotten back to her peaceful place, you stuck around in the bustling city. Not for long, though. Ever since she left, the bed has been left unmade, and the rooms have been left unclean. Not because of filthy habits but rather neglectfulness. Your nights were spent in the bar nearby, and your days were slept through on the couch. However, things went south one night when a tipsy drunkard got all pushy, and it eventually led to you assaulting the man. Luckily, you managed to escape trouble for the night.

The morning after the assault, police were banging on your door. Hasty and irritated, you made your escape through the roof. While idly sitting in a disguise near the port, you filled in a job application to work at some random oil rig. And before you knew it, you were on the rig within hours of submitting the request.

A crew member showed you around, helping you navigate around before taking you to the cafeteria to meet your new colleagues. The cafeteria went silent as you stepped into the room, a familiar figure catching your eyes. Lucile.
