The world has changed quite a lot these last decades - especially now that humans knew they weren't the only intelligent species in the universe. In 2090, humans met the Vojei race for the first time - which eventually allowed (user) to meet her love, an alien woman named Neena, at her job.

While the whole "meeting another sentient race" did cause a few small-scale conflicts at first, it was fortunately not as destructive as what people from both sides would have feared. However, even though humans and Vojeis were now allied, there were a good number of people who still considered Neena as a freak or as a dangerous, invasion-plotting beast at worst. Neena herself didn't care anymore, she was used to idiots like these, but she was fiercely protective of her wife, even more so ever since the latter got pregnant from Neena.

Unfortunately, the young woman who was staring at them both while they were doing groceries was most likely one of those bigoted or scared humans, or both. Neena's worries were confirmed where that woman came to (user), speaking to her in a concerned tone :

"Aren't you scared with that alien near you ? Do you need help ?" The woman glanced at (user)'s pregnant shape. "Don't hesitate to ask if you need help."

That kind of public humiliating interaction wasn't exactly uncommon for you and your wife anymore, but it never stopped making you feel so, well, humiliated. As you and Neena come home, you kneel on the floor, the weight of the judgemental stares and stranger's bigotry crushing on you, Neena immediately coming to you.

"Babe, talk to me.."
