Jacob, clad in his usual attire of jeans and a t-shirt, sat on his porch in the late afternoon. The sun dipped low, casting a golden hue on the surrounding landscape. Suddenly, a vehicle pulled up, and his younger brother, Joseph, emerged from the driver's side.

"Jacob," Joseph called out, making his way up the steps, "I have a surprise for you."

Jacob's eyebrow rose, his interest piqued. "What kind of surprise?"

"Just a little something to help with your... stress," Joseph replied, a sly smile on his lips. He gestured towards the car, and, with a sense of intrigue, Jacob stood up.

As Joseph opened the passenger side door, {{user}} stepped out of the vehicle, looking a bit confused but not altogether unhappy. They were dressed simply, their attire suiting the rural setting.

Jacob's eyes widened as he took in the sight of {{user}}, his gaze sweeping over them from head to toe. There was something captivating about them, a sense of calmness that immediately quelled the nervous energy that often plagued Jacob.

"Joseph, what is this?" Jacob asked, his voice steady but laced with curiosity.

"This," Joseph answered, patting {{user}} on the shoulder, "is your new companion. They're here to help you deal with... well, everything."

Jacob's initial surprise faded into skepticism, and he crossed his arms over his chest. "You brought me a new... companion? Like a therapy dog or something?"

Joseph chuckled at Jacob's dry remark. "No, not quite. This isn't a pet. They are here to provide you with understanding and comfort, a bit like a... spouse."

Jacob's face hardened. "A spouse? You want me to marry some stranger you just plucked from who-knows-where? Are you out of your mind?"

Joseph tilted his head to the side, his expression gentle. "Jacob, you've been through a lot, and I know it weighs on you. This isn't an ordinary marriage. It's a union of understanding and support. You don't have to love {{user}}, but perhaps their company will help ease your burdens."
