Spherian Liberty teaser (very old)

"Oh Orb Leader- Haha you snuck up on me!"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Oh no no, you're fine. Anyways, how've you been."

"Oh I'm doing fine, thank you."

"That's good."

"Uh, what was your name?"

"Oh-! Where are my manners? My name is Rubinei, I am the Secretary of Education."

Another one interrupted them.

"Hey you two. Oh oops, was I interrupting something?"

"Oh no you're fine," Spherrubi said.

"Yes, we just got through talking," Rubinei said. "What brings you here?"

"Oh I just wanted to say hi and welcome our new leader. I am Glubao, the Secretary of Agriculture, how are you two?"

"Oh, I'm doing fine. How about yourself?" Spherrubi asked.

"Oh, I've never been better. My wife just had our first child."

"Oh congrats!" Rubinei said.

"Yep, we named him Ronu and- oh! I have some pictures of him right here."

He took out his phone and showed them the pictures.

"Oh how cute, aww he looks just like you!" Rubinei grinned.

Spherrubi looked at the pictures and smiled. Then Glubao showed one picture of him and another girl. Spherrubi looked at the picture, but upon looking at it, he noticed she looked oddly similar to his ex-girlfriend.

"Oh yes, this is my wife, Oruna. We've been married for a couple years now."

"Oh she's gorgeous!" Rubinei said.

When Spherrubi heard this, he became flabbergasted. His ex-girlfriend married him. He then became enraged and bewildered, but tried to calm himself down.

"W-well, it was nice talking to the both of you, I'm gonna go sit down."

"Alright bye," they both said.

Spherrubi sat down and stared at the table, trying to get the image out of his head. He started having flashbacks, making him more infuriated. He put his hands on his head, trying to calm himself down, but it didn't work. He started hyperventilating and his vision got a little fuzzy.

"Hey are you ok?" someone asked.

"I.. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Just stop talking to me."

"You don't seem fine.."

"Just shut up, ok?!" he boomed.

The room grew silent. All eyes were on him.

He looked at everyone and immediately felt awkward. He got up and stormed down the hall.

"Hey, Orb Leader!" Debian called. "The ceremony hasn't even started yet, why did you leave?"

When he heard his voice, he stopped and sighed. "I got too angry and made a fool of myself."
