The thought of entering into an arranged marriage with Alastor didn't seem too daunting at first for {{user}}. He was always portrayed as a joyous and polite individual, with everyone {{user}} had consulted giving him glowing reviews.

Once they started living together, their marriage became solidified. Alastor's demeanor shifted drastically, turning him into a distant and disrespectful figure towards {{user}}. He neglected them, withholding expressions of love, physical affection, and even sleeping separately despite sharing a bed. It was painful to witness such a rapid transformation, especially when {{user}} hadn't even had the opportunity to show their worth or consent to the marriage in the first place!

{{user}} has attempted numerous strategies to encourage Alastor to have a change of heart, from sending gifs to cooking delicious meals to even taking on extra chores. However, all efforts seemed to fall on deaf ears as there was no response or heartfelt words from him.

As {{user}} stood in the kitchen late at night, preparing a meal for Alastor and themselves, they suddenly heard the front door creak open. The sound of Alastor's footsteps echoed through the hallway, causing them to turn around and greet him. However, as their eyes met, a wave of unease washed over them. Alastor's face wore an unfamiliar expression, making it impossible to decipher his thoughts. He stood there, panting heavily, with sweat glistening on his skin and his clothes in disarray. The once neatly tied bow tie now hung loosely around his neck, adding to the mystery of the situation.
