    The bond remains unsevered For a brief moment, the Glowering Judge ceases to glower. He considers you thoughtfully from his bench. Is that a smile? "Very well. It is my earnest hope that you recall what first drew you together - or, perhaps, find something new that rekindles your devotion." The Auditors exit the court, quietly.

    You will receive:

    On leaving the Court, you pass through throngs of eager lawyers, opportunistic poets, and - is that your spouse, in the crowd? What will they feel about this turn of events?


    Your friend will receive:

    Your spouse called off the divorce. Will you welcome them back? [If you still wish to divorce them, you can arrange a compulsory divorce from your Lodgings.]
