So Close and Yet So Far Side Story top.jpg

So Close and Yet So Far is a side story. The characters and plot in this event are loosely based on William Shakespeare's tragic play Romeo and Juliet. The rerun version of this event originally ran concurrently with its sequel By Any Other Name. The side story version released separately.

This event is part of the Romeo and Juliet series.

A wall divides the two lands
of Montague and Capulet.

One fateful night, two youths
born on opposite sides meet.

The curtain rises on these
star-crossed lovers, as
the future of their lands
hangs in the balance.
