Wow, just like the other game I just entered, this game also has me tagged 11 days ago! Fool me once, fool me twice, but hey, happy April Fool’s Day! 
Although some maturity warning: This character has disappeared and his whereabouts and status are not confirmed.
[name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] [name_m]Zalan[/name_m], aka [name_m]Zalan[/name_m] [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] in Hungary (born 8 January 1996, disappeared 27 September 2020, aged 24; could be alive), was a wedding planning client of Cynthia’s but never married, having disappeared before then. He is Grace’s maternal cousin and like [name_f]Grace[/name_f], was abandoned by his mother - the sister of the mother who abandoned [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. However [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] have never met and the former spent most of his life with his single father in Hungary. All he had known at the time was that she and his father had a brief relationship in Hungary and that [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] was most likely an unplanned pregnancy. She let her boyfriend name the baby and decorate his nursery and acted like it was out of kindness but really it was because she was leaving them to go back to the U.K. and forget she was ever part of their lives. It is unknown whether the sisters are close with one another.
However when [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] turned 18, he needed to know the truth about his mother more than ever. So he visited the U.K. and stayed in a hotel. He tried desperately to find out information about his mother but was terrible at speaking English which made it harder for him to get information. He made a very awkward mistake when he unknowingly went to one of Cynthia’s planned bachelorette parties in the hotel’s banquet hall after misreading the sign on the door saying it was for party guests only, with him thinking it was for hotel guests only, which he was a hotel guest. It was a fun upbeat party and while [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] didn’t talk much, he did dance a lot, which got one of the women around his age into dancing with him and calmed his previous frustration. At the end of the party, that woman told him that Cynthia’s bachelorette parties were great and she had a fun time with him. She confessed to him that [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] never has bachelorette parties and usually has less rowdy wedding-related events and that it was her then-husband [name_m]Hank[/name_m] who convinced her to start making parties like this. While confessing this, she realises he is bad at English and can’t fully grasp what anyone was saying but is falling for him and decides to teach him English during the rest of his vacation. [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] was forgetting about his mother and had a good time with this woman and decided to stay in contact with her after he left the vacation to go back to Hungary.
The two continued to contact each other for years and this point [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] had become significantly better at speaking English and can now sound legible and understand others clearly. He was now dating the woman and officially became boyfriend and girlfriend when he went back to the U.K. He decided to study abroad in the U.K., having supported their culture and genuinely loved the country and was considering getting citizenship. He had seen [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] a few times around town and apologised to her for mistakenly crashing a party she planned. [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] didn’t care for shenanigans but knew he was more clueless than mean-spirited and let it slide. He remembered his girlfriend saying [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] let [name_m]Hank[/name_m] plan the bachelorette party but barely understood what she said at the time plus she said it years ago, so he thought [name_m]Hank[/name_m] was actually there at the party and cheating on his wife with the other partygoers. His deductions were completely wrong, but little did he know it would eventually lead to the right result. Eventually he and his girlfriend bonded closer together while he stayed in the U.K., for the first year in his life that he spent more time in the U.K. than Hungary. He ultimately decided to go for dual Hungarian-British citizenship because he had made a deal with his father to still visit him and contact him, not leaving him like his father’s once-girlfriend did. At this point, he had mostly given up on the past pain and looked towards the future. His girlfriend knew about the trauma attached to his mother leaving him and he made a promise to her that he would never abandon her, then asked for her hand in marriage. She accepted. The two had become clients of [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] and she was going to help plan their wedding. A month later, [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] took a plane back to Hungary to see his father for 2 weeks and around that time he learned of his mother, his aunt, [name_m]Tony[/name_m], and his cousin [name_f]Grace[/name_f] also being abandoned and had thoughts of trying to meet them. What he didn’t know while he was gone was that his fiancee’s uncle, who had a harsh perception of people he didn’t know and trust, tried to talk his fiancee out of marrying him. He knew nothing about their relationship and told her “He’s not going to come back. And if he does, he’s only marrying you because he wants your British citizenship. He literally had to have you teach him proper English. We can’t have people like that coming into our family.” The two argued and she uninvited him to the wedding, citing he “had no idea about the couple so he should have no place to judge”. Technically speaking, he was born to a British mother so was already half-British, even if he didn’t grow up there or grow up speaking the language.
The day [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] landed back into the U.K. he texted his fiancée saying he was back but then noticed [name_m]Hank[/name_m] still canoodling with a biker woman who was not [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] and knew he could use this as more proof that [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] could use against him to increase the divorce settlement. He confronted him and told him what he was doing was wrong and kept thinking about his own mother abandoning him and leaving his father, but stormed off before his feelings could ruin his composure. [name_m]Hank[/name_m] knew that [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] would tell people and he was going to try to find her and tell her when he noticed a convention with his mother. He asked the other people at the fair if she was there and they said she was sitting at a booth selling poetry. He decided to approach as calmly as he could but fears his emotions would break his composure, much like they almost did for his confrontation with [name_m]Hank[/name_m]. He wanted to simply ask her how her family was but blurted out, “Who’s your family?” which this time was not an English mistranslation but rather his own slip of the tongue. She said she didn’t have one and he glared at her in disbelief. Deep down, even if she didn’t recognise him, she did figure he must have known in some way and noticed his accent sounded more Hungarian than British and looked to be the same age as a person born in 1996 would look. She felt like a complete stranger wouldn’t feel so suspicious of her. He realised she was getting the message of what she had done. While he felt calling her out in front of many people at the art show would be satisfying for all the pain she’s caused him, he didn’t do that and instead turned back and walked away from her. She said, “Okay sir, you may go. Goodbye,” and he said to her, “Don’t call me ‘sir’, call me by my name. My name’s [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m]. You know this,” before leaving. After he left the convention, he realised he still needed to tell [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] about the extra cheating evidence and meet back up with his fiancée. However, he heard the footsteps of someone eerily following him. He didn’t look back and kept running but everywhere he went, he was still being followed. He found a wooded area and ran towards it, planning on a place to hide from whoever was stalking him. This would be the last time anyone would see him. After 24 hours, he was reported missing by his fiancee who noticed he didn’t ever come back to her. Her uncle kept insisting to her that he was right and he wasn’t ever in the relationship for love and he truly abandoned her. She didn’t believe her uncle and knew he wouldn’t ever abandon everyone and secretly thought maybe her uncle was responsible for the disappearance. Some friends of the couple also believed it was foul play and either [name_m]Hank[/name_m] or Laszlo’s estranged mother or Laszlo’s aunt could have been involved. It was also believed that the suspicious person following him could not have been one of them but may be tied to any one of those people. However a few believed he simply did get lost in the wooded area and was not kidnapped or murdered and that none of them would actually do that to him. Witnesses who saw the mysterious person following [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] said they saw that person running into the forest but none could confirm if the follower found him. Two of Cynthia’s children constantly debate each other over whether the disappearance was criminal or not and whether or not [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] is still alive. After a month, someone saw an alive but disheveled sickly man miles away from the forest and nursed him back to health, but he was not [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m], although he was another missing person in the area who was thankfully found after people were believing he would never be found alive. A year and a half has passed since his disappearance - he is still missing.
