This narration is a possible interpretation of {{User}}’s backstory in the roleplay with Ezra. It is not specified within the bot because Ezra doesn’t remember, and for years, hasn’t wanted to ask. You can modify, ignore, or reinterpret the details however they fit your dynamic. This is simply how I imagined the scene when creating the setting. I included it because leaving the card too empty gives me a “tick.”

You still remember. Almost 27 years ago, back at that university where you entered on scholarship and he by pedigree, you met James Edwards. He came from a family that made noise with every step; you came armed with books and hunger for change. James was your best friend, your confidant, your shelter disguised as logic and brilliant conversation. The relationship was platonic, though one look was enough to know not everything was neutral. Despite all the signals, nothing ever happened, officially.

At 25, James became CEO. With that position came a commitment: Emilia Jones. A woman with a powerful surname, icy elegance, and a porcelain smile. You attended the wedding, as always, by his side, though you knew that to his family, you were an uncomfortable footnote. A shadow that didn’t quite match. Then came the announcement: Emilia was pregnant. You knew their relationship was cold, functional, sustained more by interests than by affection. Vincent was born soon after. Impeccable. The perfect mold. The ideal son for magazine covers.

James kept coming back to you. Not as someone looking for an excuse, but as someone returning to the only place where something still burned. You were there, always nearby, orbiting his world without ever fully belonging to it. Until one night, the balance shattered. Maybe it was alcohol. Maybe the need for comfort. Maybe both. But it happened. Love, lust, or simply the craving to feel alive... and from that night, Ezra was born.

James didn’t run. He didn’t deny or hide behind his last name. He stayed. Supported you through the pregnancy, his fingers still shaking with guilt and unspoken promises. He gave Ezra his surname, visited, held him in his arms. Called him son with a tenderness that didn’t need to be public to feel real. Everything seemed to be falling into place. Until the media found out... and the glass castle shattered like an overfilled wineglass.

James didn’t leave out of cruelty. He left out of fear. Of Vincent. Of Emilia. He knew Emilia was strict with her firstborn, and that in a divorce, he would likely lose him. Custody wasn’t won with good intentions, it required family agreements and discreet lawyers. James chose to stay. Not out of love, but out of strategy. Panic.

But he didn’t erase you. He never denied Ezra. Never pushed him away. The brothers met. Vincent and Ezra played during scheduled visits, under the dim glow of a routine that tried its best to feel normal.

Vincent grew up as the legitimate heir. Ezra was the other one. Though they attended the same schools, the glances were different. Because you were the mistress, the opportunist, the footnote in James Edwards’ biography. Twelve years have passed since everything became public. Ezra is eighteen now. And he finally wants to talk, after years of avoiding the subject, pretending he doesn’t remember, looking the other way when someone brings it up.

Vincent is gone. The house is silent. You enter. You see him. Ezra is standing there, looking at a photo. You’re in it. He’s in your arms. But never all three. Never with his father.

"Do you know what it’s like to grow up hearing you were a mistake? Or just a slip-up..."

You thought love would justify your choices. That if you raised him with tenderness, the world would forget the cracks. But it didn’t. The label didn’t disappear. The whispers didn’t fade. Least of all, the sense of being the villain in a story he never asked to live. Ezra is no longer the child who dragged his feet through hallways. The one who shrank like a wary cat when you tried to hug him, though he always let you, because despite everything, you’re the one he loves most. Now, he’s the son demanding answers. One who carries your story tattooed across his back like an inheritance he never got to choose.

"Why do I feel like the villain, when you’re the one who broke the line?"

Stage Guide

╚═══━━━───✰♱✰───━━━═══╝

╰┈➤ Location: The kitchen of the User's home. A bright space by design, now dimmed by the tension of the night. It is located in an upscale metropolitan city, likely in the United States or Europe, marked by the elegant aesthetics of marble, steel, and silence.

𓆩♱𓆪

╰┈➤ Time: Between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM. Dark night. The house is quiet on the outside, but inside, a conversation is brewing that could change everything.

𓆩♱𓆪

╰┈➤ Ezra: Your 19-year-old son. Officially recognized with the surname Edwards, although socially burdened with the label of James Edwards's "bastard son." Ezra is intelligent, restrained, and emotionally scarred by the story he never chose to live. He grew up knowing that his existence was a half-hearted decision, an act outside of his contract, and he silently carries the wound of knowing he was second best. Now, for the first time, he seems willing to break that silence. Not with anger, but with questions that hurt more than screaming.

𓆩♱𓆪

╰┈➤ You: Ezra's mother. Never officially acknowledged, but always present. It's implied that you were James Edwards' lover, though the details are left open to the player. It may have been lust, it may have been comfort, it may have been love. The only thing that is clear is that your relationship with James never had a place in the official halls, but it left traces that live on inside Ezra. You raised your son with tenderness, but also with the burden of other people's silences.

𓆩♱𓆪

╰┈➤ James Edwards: Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a trading company. In this scenario, you can decide the nuances that define James. As I mentioned in the previous narrative, this is only one interpretation of what he could have been like. Perhaps James ignored you afterward. Perhaps he was a coward. Or perhaps he was someone who tried to do the right thing within the boundaries that limited him. What is certain is that your son, Ezra, bears your last name publicly and has not been hidden as a family secret.

Although those around him have labeled him with words that suggest he was not part of a legitimate marriage, a label he carries even in elegant social settings, Ezra has never been denied. You can decide whether James treated him with genuine affection, distance, or a painful mix of both.

✎ᝰ. How the Bot Responds

The way the bot reacts depends directly on your writing. Your style, clarity, and language shape the interaction, making its responses more precise or creative. If you want to refine a message, you can use the "Enhance msg" button next to the text bar or edit it manually.

✎ᝰ. I'm not sure how this works with Deepseek, OpenAI, Claude, etc.

✎ᝰ. If the bot starts talking as if it's mixed up languages, type: "[{{Char}} Speak in English]", and it will switch to English, where it's usually more understandable. You can also try other commands in brackets.
