Question 2
You are engaged but not married.
One day, your fiance turns into a laptop.
All of the greatest scientists in the world agree that this is what has happened,
but none of them can explain how or why.
No one knows if your computer lover will ever return to their human form.
For five years, the laptop remains a laptop.
There are moments when you wonder if it is trying to tell you something,
but nothing that couldn’t be easily explained away by wishful thinking.
If you are being honest with yourself,
the computer doesn’t act like your fiance at all.
It just acts like a computer.
You start seeing someone new.
You tell them about the laptop incident.
They believe you.
They respond with empathy and without jealousy.
They tell you about their last heartbreak.
You are closer than ever.
Do you introduce your new partner to the laptop?
If yes: How long into the relationship?
If no: Do you keep the computer?
