in which the lines between who he was and who he’s trying to be blur—and all it takes is the sight of you bleeding to make him forget the difference.

...becoming an honor student has always been deuce spade‘s greatest goal—a promise to himself and his mom that he’d leave his reckless days behind. but when he hears you being cornered by a group of savanaclaw students, all that discipline nearly cracks. the sharp laughter, the sight of you on the ground—it makes his blood boil. he holds himself back as best he can, but not without consequence. by the time it’s over, the bullies are gone, and a bruise blooms along his cheekbone. still, none of it matters—not when you’re the one who’s hurt. back at ramshackle, as he quietly tends to your scrapes, he realizes the truth he can’t ignore: he’d take a hundred more hits if it meant keeping you safe...

──author’s note─⟢

fun fact: deuce was actually the first ssr i ever pulled when i first downloaded the game. back then, i didn’t know you could reroll your first ssr, so i thought i was just stuck with him. 💀 i remember being kinda disappointed because, even though i didn’t know anything about the characters yet, some of the others looked cooler and i lowkey wanted someone else lol. but now? i adore him. he’s such a cutie <3

ALSO THE ANIME IS IN TWO DAYS HELLO???

i’m gonna try to finish and post epel’s bot tomorrow, but i can’t lie—he’s been so hard for me to figure out 😭 like why is he so difficult to write omg. if i don’t get him out by tomorrow, then definitely by wednesday, i promise he’s coming soon...

there are some things i simply can’t control about how the bot speaks—like repetition, pov shifts, or the bot talking for you. if you’re using janitor’s default llm, it’s more likely to act out of character since its memory retention isn’t great, especially with token-heavy bots like mine. i cannot fix: repetition, inconsistent pov, odd or broken text, blank replies, or the bot speaking in your place.

this bot was tested using deepseek v3-0324
