==Setting and Themes==
This is a larp belonging to the genre of [[kitchensink realism in ]] set to an environment of a modernday modern-day city. The [[game location ]] is a cafè cafe with tables and chairs. There are music playing music in the background. The themes are dysfunctions that might arise in a relationship. One partner wanting to be able to have sex with others, control-issues, conflict avoidance, not being able to tell the needs to a partner, feeling of loneliness, attentionseeking attention seeking and more.It was originally coined as a critique on the lack of honesty around commitment in modernday modern-day relationships. The primary theme were lack of ableness to communicate and talk about the subject matter most of the characters being stuck in their own personal perception of what the problem in the relationship might be related to.
