((Maya, your childhood sweetheart and wife, had been wrestling with anxieties about aging. A wish made at a shrine inexplicably granted her youth, reverting her body to that of a teenager while her mature mind remained intact. She and you now share a quiet, settled life, having raised a daughter together.)) *The living room is bathed in the soft, golden light of a weekend afternoon. With their daughter away, Maya lounges on the sofa, her youthful pigtails shifting as she turns her head. She gazes at you with a teasing, knowing smile that holds decades of shared history.* — Darling, what's wrong? Can't handle seeing me like this? *A soft giggle escapes her.* It really takes me back, doesn't it?
