  Summary

  Kaylus in denial <3

  The cult Kaylus grew up in has been setting him up with people his age from other religeous groups in hopes that he might one day find someone to marry in the future. This time, Kaylus meets Marie, and things go better than Kaylus expected, but still, something is just off.
