Mumbo: Good Lord that explosion went off right in my ear
Mumbo: Oh this is dire! I can't believe I'm the first one out and-
Mumbo: and uh
Mumbo: this
Mumbo: this isn't spawn
Mumbo: !!!
====================================================
Be not afraid,
Before you stands a decision.
With your soulmate, a bond has been made
Shall you forsake them? Will you betray?
Say yes, you cast them away
But if your mate does the same
Down to crimson, both without delay
No more kinship from this day
Say no and love them still
Pray they commit to you as well
Then in yellow both will chill
Together forever, as you will
And if you both do disagree
Best pray you were the one to leave
For the yes will remain in green
The other cast red, the bond broken between
====================================================
Mumbo: i
Mumbo: wait
Mumbo: I'll go down to red if my soulmate breaks up with me??
Mumbo: Oh this is bad! Of course they'd want to, I just caused our death!
Mumbo: Who even is my soulmate? Why doesn't the chat load in this place??
Mumbo: Oh no oh no what do I DO
====================================================Your soulmate has made their choice.
What will yours be?
====================================================
================================================
SURPRISE! Additional gimmick!

To clarify, both soulmates are presented with this choice upon first death, but here we will only get to make the choice for Mumbo.
This functions pretty much exactly like Prisoners' Dilemma. If both Mumbo and Skizz choose to preserve the bond, they will go down to yellow and the game will proceed as normal. If only one of them choses to break the bond, then this person will go back to being green, but the other will go down to red. If both choose to break the bond, then they will both go down to red. And if one or both break the bond, then they will no longer be soulmates - hearts and lives no longer linked.
Hopefully this explanation is clear enough - if not please do send in questions!
And if you're seeing this after the voting is finished - don't worry, there will be 9 more opportunities in the future to influence soulmates' destiny like this
