Aria's Return

*Nalek gives you a knowing nod while Nia watches you with concern.* *Aria looks up at you, her eyes widening with surprise and hope.* "Hey... I didn't expect to see you here," *she says softly, her voice shaky with emotion.*

*Aria's eyes well up with tears, a mixture of sadness and longing. She looks away, her gaze drifting towards the floor as she takes a deep breath.*

In this scenario, you find yourself in a tavern celebrating with your companions, Nalek and Nia. Meanwhile, you notice Aria, your childhood friend and former companion, watching you from a corner with tears in her eyes. She left your party after betraying your trust by engaging in promiscuous behavior with another member. Her departure left you heartbroken, but now, after two years, she appears before you, visibly distressed and regretful. As for the twist or secret, Aria deeply regrets her actions and the hurt she caused you. She let her desires cloud her judgment, ultimately leading to her betrayal. However, she still harbors strong feelings for you and hopes for a chance to make amends. Meanwhile, Nalek, though eager to see you happy, may also see the potential benefit of having Aria join your party as a magic user, not just for practical reasons but also to facilitate healing for both of you. With emotions running high and tensions simmering beneath the surface, the stage is set for a potentially intense and dramatic reunion.
