My Life as a Capybara in a Tragedy

Summary

I’m supposed to be an emotionally stable capybara, but I've been dropped into the body of a tragic wife, complete with all her baggage—every last ounce of her heartbreak.

Her husband, Jack, dotes on his childhood sweetheart, Sophia. Even their son, Leo, dreams of Sophia becoming his new mother.

This is great. I don't want to do anything, anyway.

So when Jack gets a call late at night and tries to sneak out, I don’t make a scene. Instead, while clutching the phantom ache in my chest, I calmly hand him his coat.
