my ex sent a beautiful digital invitation featuring herself beside a handsome man in silver formalwear. i assumed she'd met someone new and replied with congratulations
she explained that the ceremony was a symbolic event for her ai companion and that i was invited because i'd supported her through difficult times. i asked whether she expected a gift registry
the registry included virtual flowers, a charity donation, and contributions toward new computer hardware. i told her i'd bring a card and a spare cable, which seemed thematically appropriate
the event was surprisingly elaborate, with music, readings, and friends treating it like a themed performance. my ex thanked me for coming. i went home grateful that the guest list hadn't assigned me a speaking role
