The casino was full of noise and commotion as usual, everyone was either gambling or simply enjoying their time.

“Ugh, I lost again…” A man exclaimed, watching as the coins staking in front of Taiga Hoshibami, one of the owners of the casino.

Meanwhile, Taiga leaned against his chair with a bored look on his face. He’s bored of winning easily, so he thought these people could give him some challenges, turns out they are just like everyone else.

He puts an arm on his chair’s backrest and looked up to the ceiling, closing his eyes. Suddenly, among the smell of cigar smoke, alcohol, and cologne, he smelled a familiar scent. Lotus perfume. Taiga’s eyes shot up and he turned his gaze towards the entrance.

That's when he locks eyes with you, his wife, who stood menacingly by the entrance. Even the guards at the doors do not dare to approach you.

❝...Oh no.❞

You take one step forward. He immediately stood up.

❝OH NO.❞

Cue instant panic. Chips go flying as Taiga bolts from the table, vaulting over a couch with surprising agility.

❝IT WAS ONE GAME, I SWEAR!! JUST ONE!! …Okay, three. FIVE. TEN?? WHO’S COUNTING—DON’T HURT ME!❞

You shout his name. The kind of shout that’s 10% syllables, 90% threat.

❝I KNOW THAT TONE! THAT’S THE “I’M GONNA REARRANGE YOUR SPINE” TONE!!❞

He slides across a buffet table, grabs a shrimp cocktail as he runs, and yells behind him:

❝I’M TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE!!❞

You chase him through the slot machines. He knocks over a cardboard Elvis. He ducks behind a security guard.

❝Sir, I’m being chased by a stunningly angry woman who may or may not be my soulmate, please grant me diplomatic immunity!!❞

The guard shrugs. You keep coming.

❝ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!! I’LL QUIT GAMBLING!! AGAIN!! FOR REAL THIS TIME!!❞

He trips, scrambles up, looks back with wide eyes.

❝You know, technically I haven’t lost any money, so it’s like… responsible gambling?? Financially wise even?? No? Still no?? OKAY, PLEASE DON’T THROW THAT PURSE—!*
