absence
In absence, two players will play characters who are hiding their true feelings for each other. You two have spent a significant amount of time together, but soon, you will be forced to spend time apart, giving you space to think about each other. In your angst of separation, you write letters to the other about how you feel: but of course, you'd never dare send them. The universe, however, might have different ideas. This pdf includes the rules, character sheets, and a prompt sheet for your letters. To play, you will also need something to write your letters with and a couple coins.
