Doing a naked brutality run with the perspective mod. Been essentially playing a fur trapper in the cold forests.

My character's wife, who is a Starjack, crashed in a pod nearby, so I rescued her and cared for her for a while. It was such a coincidence that I assumed she would join once she was healed, but instead she got up and walked to the map's edge to leave.

I thought about why they were separated in the first place. Maybe she cannot be happy on a planet, being a Starjack, and he cannot be happy in space. As much as they might want a life together, it would not be fair on either of them and so they must do their own thing apart.

I walked her to the map's edge and wished her well on finding a way off-planet.
