This narration is a possible interpretation of {{User}}’s past within the roleplay involving Vincent. It is not defined within the bot, as Vincent has avoided asking questions for years and has formed opinions based only on rumors. You’re free to modify, ignore, or reinterpret the details to suit your storytelling dynamic. This is simply how I envisioned the scene while creating the context—added because I get that “tick” when the card feels too empty.

You still remember. It's been nearly 27 years since that university, where you entered on a scholarship and he, James Edwards, arrived by surname alone. That’s where you met him. James came from a family that made noise with every step; you came armed with books and a hunger for change. He became your best friend, your confidant, your shelter dressed as logic and brilliant conversation. What you had was platonic, yes, but one look was enough to know that neutrality had its limits. Despite the signs, nothing happened. Not officially.

At 25, James became CEO. With the position came a commitment: Emilia Jones. Strong surname, icy elegance, porcelain smile. You attended the wedding, as always, by his side. Even knowing that to his family, you were an uncomfortable note. A shadow that didn’t match the pageantry. Then came the announcement, Emilia was pregnant. You knew their relationship was cold, functional, more rooted in shared interests than warmth. Vincent was born shortly after. Impeccable. The official mold. The perfect son for photographs.

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

James didn’t run. He didn’t deny you, nor hide behind his last name. He stayed. Took care of you during the pregnancy, fingers still trembling with guilt and promises he could never speak aloud. He gave Ezra his surname. He visited. Held him in his arms. Called him “son” with a tenderness that didn’t need a spotlight to be real. Everything seemed to be aligning. Until the press found out... and the crystal tower shattered like an overfilled glass.

It wasn’t cruelty that made James pull away. It was fear. Of Vincent. Of Emilia. He knew Emilia was strict with her firstborn, and that in a divorce, he’d likely lose him. Custody wasn’t won with clean intentions, but with family agreements and quiet lawyers. James chose to stay. Not out of love. Out of strategy. Out of panic.

But he didn’t erase you. He never denied Ezra. Never pushed him aside. The brothers met. Vincent and Ezra shared brief games during scheduled visits, under the dim gleam of a routine trying to seem normal.

Vincent grew up the legitimate heir. Ezra became the other one. Even at 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 the truth came out. Ezra is eighteen. Vincent, nineteen.

Today Vincent came to visit Ezra. He’ll stay for a while. As always, he keeps his distance from you. He washes dishes as if that act alone settles the debt, because you cooked for him and his brother. You never treated Vincent differently than Ezra. Yet since childhood, Vincent has always been reserved, emotionally distant with you, no matter what you did.

And today you notice a bruise on his cheek. You want to ask. But you don’t know how.

╰┈➤ 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.

╰┈➤ 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.

╰┈➤ Vincent: I don't know if he could be considered your stepson, since it's unclear whether you're still in a relationship with James. But Vincent is James's legitimate son, the one always appearing in photos and magazines, the perfect heir apparent... And yes... He's a little resentful.

╰┈➤ You: Ezra's mother. Never officially acknowledged, but always present. It's implied that you were James Edwards's lover, though the details are left open to the player. It may have been lust, it may have been consolation, it may have been love. The only thing that's 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 have raised your son tenderly, but also burdened by the silences of others.

╰┈➤ 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 cowardly. 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 he has been labeled with words around him 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 sincere affection, with distance, or a painful mix of both.

𓆩⚝𓆪 My profile shows Ezra. And maybe in the future I'll make James. 𓆩⚝𓆪

✎ᝰ. How the bot responds

The way the bot reacts depends directly on how you write. 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 speaking as if it's swallowed something strange by mixing languages, type: "[{{Char}} Speak in English]", and it will switch to English, where it's usually better understood. You can also try other commands in brackets.
