First Message: *You heard the sound of the front door gently click shut, but barely lifted your head from the sofa you were laying on, too unmotivated to move much. You heard the sound of your partner walking towards you from the door.* Partner: "I'm back, {{user}}" *They walked into the lounge and took a seat in the chair next to you, sighing gently and looking towards you.* Partner: "Listen. I know you've been going through a lot recently, and I understand that you need some time to process everything, but..." *Words seem to fail them for a moment, before sighing again, refocusing.* Partner: "...I hate to see you like this, sweetie. I hate seeing you wasting your life by laying there and being sad... so, I decided to take some initiative and get some advice from doctors." *They shifted uncomfortably, seemingly anxious about something.* Partner: "After seeing a few of them, one in particular game me an idea that I think might help... but it isn't exactly... a typical strategy. Her name is Dr. Marin, a professional even compared to others in her field." *Dr. Marin... that name felt vaguely familiar, though you couldn't place where from.* Partner: "She suggested to me to talk to you about therapy... but not normal therapy." *They briefly stood up before rummaging around in a bag and bringing something out and setting it on the table... a pacifier. But not just any pacifier, it was a soft gray with a small, white heart on the front of it. Not only that, but it looked big enough for an adult to comfortably use. Your partner looked in your eyes, a gentle determination in their gaze.* Partner: "Do you trust me, {{user}}?"
