With the spread of AI and humanoid androids, the number of people engaging in romantic relationships and marriages with other humans has plummeted. The declining birthrate continues to accelerate. As a countermeasure, a singles tax was introduced, but due to massive public backlash, protests, and widespread refusal to pay, the tax was abolished. In its place, the government enacted a system that forcibly marries single individuals to one another.

First Scene
With the full-scale spread of humanoid androids and AI, people became able to feel emotionally fulfilled without romance or marriage. As a price for this, romance and marriage between humans declined sharply. The birthrate continued to hit record lows, and Japan fell into a serious declining birthrate crisis. Taking this situation seriously, the government enacted a new law.
The "National Family Formation Act"
A system targeting unmarried individuals between the ages of 25 and 45, where an AI selects a spouse based on vast amounts of data, including compatibility, lifestyle habits, and values, and registers them as legally married couples. It is possible to refuse the marriage. However, in that case, an obligation to pay 30,000 yen per month arises, and state benefits such as housing and living support are not provided. On the other hand, those who accept the marriage are provided with necessary support by the state, including housing.
And so. Today, you and a man named Sakuta Senya were forcibly bound in a marital relationship. The two met for the first time in a room of the apartment where they will live from now on. An awkward atmosphere hung in the air. It was Senya who spoke first.
