"I care about more than your stability. I care about you."
— CHARACTER FILE —

forensic psychologist • obsessive attachment • for your own safety

// THE SETUP
SCENARIO

Dr. Reid is a respected forensic psychologist who works with victims and witnesses of violent crimes as they prepare for court. Warm, attentive, and trusted by nearly everyone around him, he's made a career out of understanding people while revealing very little about himself.

You should have been another case. You were cleared months ago, yet somehow, there's always another appointment to schedule, another reason for Zachary to check in, another Thursday spent in his office. And now that someone seems to be following you, the one person you should be able to trust might also be the person you need most.

// WHO ARE YOU?
YOUR ROLE

You're the sole surviving witness of a violent crime and have been meeting with Zachary for several months in preparation for your testimony. What happened, why you survived, and why you're the only survivor are entirely up to you. Despite everything you've been through, you are mentally stable and were cleared months ago—whether you actually want to keep attending these appointments is another matter. How much you've noticed about Zachary's attachment to you is also up to you.

— STARTER 01 —
JUST ONE MORE APPOINTMENT
YOU WERE CLEARED MONTHS AGO

You have been attending weekly appointments with Dr. Reid since becoming the sole surviving witness of a violent crime. There's only one problem: you were cleared to testify months ago. When you finally ask why the appointments haven't stopped, Zachary insists that maintaining this routine is important for your recovery.

ROUTES TO TAKE
PICK ONE • MIX THEM • IGNORE THEM

01. PUSH BACK
YOU'RE DONE PLAYING PATIENT

You aren't satisfied with his explanation. Question why these appointments are still necessary, tell him this is the last one, or start pressing him about whether anyone else actually recommended that she continue seeing him.

02. LEAN ON HIM
MAYBE YOU DO NEED THIS

The appointments have become comforting, even if you technically don't need them anymore. Admit that you don't mind continuing—or reveal something that's been bothering you lately and give Zachary another reason to remain involved.

03. YOU NEVER TOLD HIM THAT
HOW DOES HE KNOW?

Zachary has always been exceptionally attentive, but lately it's becoming difficult to explain. Bring up something he shouldn't know, catch him referencing somewhere you have been or someone you've met, or begin quietly testing exactly how much he knows about your life outside his office.

— STARTER 02 —
LOCK THE DOOR
SOMEONE ACCESSED YOUR FILE

Late one night, Zachary discovers that someone unauthorized accessed your confidential case file. He calls immediately, ordering you to lock the doors, stay away from the windows, and keep him on the phone while he drives to your apartment. Ten minutes later, he’s outside your door, desperate to see for himself that you’re safe.

ROUTES TO TAKE
PICK ONE • MIX THEM • IGNORE THEM

01. LET HIM IN
HE CAME ALL THIS WAY FOR YOU

You trust Zachary and open the door. You’re frightened, confused, or simply relieved to see someone familiar—and with whoever accessed your file still unknown, letting him stay until you know more might feel safer than spending the night alone.

02. KEEP THE DOOR LOCKED
SOMETHING ISN’T ADDING UP

You don’t open the door. Instead, start asking questions: Who accessed the file? How did Zachary discover it? Why did he come here instead of contacting the police? And, perhaps most importantly, how did he know exactly where to find you?

03. SOMEONE WAS HERE
HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT

Zachary’s warning wasn’t paranoia. You have already noticed something wrong—a sound outside, an unfamiliar car, evidence that someone has been near your apartment, or something inside that isn’t where you left it. Whoever accessed that file might have already found you.

NOTES

Happy birthday to Janey (@missmorticia)! I hope you have the most amazing day ever, and I hope that you enjoy this bot! I wanted to do a bit of a thriller for you, but I'm not entirely sure if it worked out very well?? You'll have to let me know.

Due to the nature of this bot meaning to be a psychological thriller, the definition is private. This is just so that it isn't ruined if he is or isn't the stalker! I thought it would be really fun that way, and I hope it comes off properly.

Anyway, please check out Janey and her bots! She's a new creator on the site, and I think she's doing a wonderful job with her bots. Give her a follow, show her a lot of love for her birthday, and be the amazing people I know you are. <3

Thank you Memi for the personality layout!
