Key & Compass presents:
Saied
by Robb Sherwin

In this very short story, you play as an Arabian man torn up over your ex-lover, Indihar, who cold-heartedly dumped you for another man three months ago. Yesterday, she called out of the blue and said she wants to see you again. The emotional pain paralyzed you with fear all night, but now it is time to make a decision.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the story.
