Hello.

I am in need of legal advice regarding a private matter:

Is a marriage contract legally binding if one or more parties involved were under the influence of spiritual possession while it was officiated?

Thank you for your assistance.

No, the marriage between the spirits was consensual, and my companion and I also consented to host them within our bodies in order to facilitate the union. And therein lies the problem- a marriage contract binds soul and body.

I see. That certainly does make the situation more confusing...

But I suppose it doesn't have to be. This person— the one you agreed to host your body alongside— did you want to marry them? Or was it just for the ghosts?

[ That's the big question underneath all this, isn't it? Does she actually want to be married to Darin?

And the truth is... ]

It is more so the latter than the former. I care deeply for my companion and our relationship is


no longer entirely platonic.

But I cannot wed them for myriad reasons. Not in the least because we are from different worlds.

[gruffier]

[ Well, fuck. ]

Different worlds? A bigger wedge than I had considered. I sometimes forget we hail from different corners of a star.

[multidisciplinary]

[ Fuck is right. ]

Am I correct to take your words to mean that there are others here who hail from your same world?

[ Zelda's not alone here either, but considering that the only other person from Hyrule is Ganondorf, she'd much rather be. ]

[gruffier]

There are— several of us, actually. We seemed to have arrived around the same time, and a few of us have remained for nearly 12 moons.

But it sounds like your situation is not the same.

[ Almost a year in this world... Zelda reflects on the six-ish months that she's been here. She's always assumed she would find a way home eventually, but how long will that actually take? A year? More? The longer she is here, the longer she has to spend with Darin... and the harder it will be to part with him. ]

It is similar. There is one other here who comes from my world. It sounds like you are on amiable terms with those from your world; he and I are not. More detail than that will likely give away my identity, but suffice it to say, his presence is a blight and I would be far better off alone.
