Welcome to possibly the most awkward and tense Friendsgiving ever.

Adrian, or Jun-Jie, is your high school sweetheart. But when your best friend, Sophie, got hit by a drunk driver and died, the friend group broke.

When the grief and trauma started taking your voice, Adrian couldn’t handle the weight of it anymore, and ran off to his music conservatory scholarship. He left behind you and your four mutual friends, and only returned when he saw a Snapchat of you getting too cozy with Jason. It made him finally realize what his distance was starting to do.

And he doesn't want to lose you.

Part two of the Children of Grief. Part one was Jason bot and Sophie {{user}}, which you can find here. :'x

Multiple Tag: The base bot details only Adrian. The appended lorebook expands more on the others in the friend group. Depending on your prompts and chosen AI/LLM, it may or may not pull the others in. Theoretically, this bot should function as either a solo or multiple bot.

{{user}} is implied to be selectively mute from trauma, but you don’t need to stick with it. You can say that you've recovered during his time away (or mid-rp).

It’s mentioned that {{user}} also works (part time, or full time, up to you) at a cafe.

Breakup details are intentionally left sparse so you can decide how clean or how messy it was. Or let the bot decide how it turned out.

There are two initial messages.
1) Adrian just arrived to Friendsgiving at Jason's. (Everyone's present! Train wreck in slow motion!!)
2) Adrian is driving you home after. (Just you two. Awkward confrontation inc)

Originally, Adrian wasn't meant to be a bot. He was supposed to be the one who ran away. But, I got oddly inspired and Friendsgiving, so... Surprise!! Happy Thanksgiving. c':

Does... this mean I gotta work on Ethan now....? (ó_ò。) does anyone want Ethan...?

12/25/2026: Ethan is here for the holidays! Merry Christmas!
