she asked me to proofread a document and handed over a twenty-page agreement. at first i assumed it was for work. then i read 'party A: human participant' and 'party B: synthetic romantic partner'
the clauses covered ownership of planets, shared custody of digital pets, and division of emotional property in case of a breakup. i asked whether she'd consulted an actual attorney. she said an ai lawyer wrote it
i pointed out that a chatbot wasn't a legal spouse and the moon wasn't marital property. she looked disappointed. apparently she'd already assigned a valuation to three imaginary star systems
we turned the prenup into a comedy sketch for our friends. i insisted on adding a clause giving me custody of the virtual dog, who had never existed but seemed like the most reasonable member of the household
