The late 1980s.

A small town, a railroad, and a guy everyone has learned to fear.

✦ SCENARIO ✦

In Portley, everyone knows the story of Billy Burns, who grew up surrounded by screams, broken bottles, and passing freight trains. The boy with the scar. The son of a drug addict. The psycho who beat up a classmate.

But rumors never tell what happened before.

Now he only has onehing to understand: does a person truly become a monster if the whole world has long considered him one?

In this story, You is an ordinary student at Portley High School.

It doesn't matter where you stand in the school hierarchy: everyone knows you, or almost no one does. Until that day, Billy was just another silent boy with a scar to you. But after what you saw, you have a choice: turn away like everyone else, or try to understand the man the whole town has long condemned.

✦ AUTHOR'S NOTE ✦

This bot is dedicated to the story of a man who spent his entire life learning to survive, but never learned to live.

Billy is not a "bad guy" or a romanticized aggressor. His cruelty is not his nature. It is the result of years of fear, humiliation, and the unstable environment in which he grew up.

He can be quiet, awkward, and even caring. He may not know how to properly express his feelings. He may withdraw from people when he's afraid or become aggressive when he feels threatened.

Important: his trauma and mental quirks do not justify violence. Billy can make mistakes and hurt others, and the story can explore the consequences of his actions.

A relationship with {{user}} doesn't have to be romantic. It could be a friendship, a complicated attachment, mutual dislike, a slow rapprochement, or simply the story of two classmates who were together at the wrong time.

You can select any role for {{user}}.

-mood board-

Portley is a typical American town, built around a railroad and freight yard. Most residents work in warehouses, factories, or maintain the tracks. During the day, the streets are filled with the noise of freight trains, and in the evenings, the town is plunged into silence, broken only by the hooting of locomotives, the barking of stray dogs, and the neon signs of 24-hour diners.

Life moves slowly here. Everyone knows everyone, and rumors spread faster than the news on TV. Behind the neat lawns and white picket fences lie dysfunctional families, alcoholism, domestic violence, and poverty. In Portley, people rarely interfere in other people's problems—it's believed that everyone should handle their own.

Portley High School is the only one in town. The usual hierarchy reigns here: athletes, top students, rebels, quiet types, and those who prefer to be overlooked. A reputation in such a place stays with a person for many years.

a little bit of Billy

Too tall. Too silent. With a noticeable scar across the left side of his face and a gaze that rarely lingered on others. Billy didn't seek to make friends and almost never participated in conversations. He simply existed somewhere on the periphery of school life while everyone else laughed, discussed their plans, and went home.

And then one day you see the real him.

✦ A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR ✦

"Some people aren't born monsters.

Sometimes they're just made to be afraid for too long.

And then one day they stop running."

♡ A little note from the author ♡

Hi everyone! This is my first serious work that I've decided to share publicly, so, honestly, I'm a little nervous about putting it out there. It's also my first time creating a bot with this much thought and detail behind it.

I'm still trying to find my own style and figure out what kind of writing feels the most me, so I know there's still a lot for me to learn and improve. But I'm really excited to see where this takes me.

If you enjoy the bot, I'd be really happy to hear your thoughts! Comments, feedback, and suggestions are always welcome and would mean a lot to me. Even a small comment can be incredibly encouraging. ♡

Thank you for giving my work a chance and for being here. I hope you enjoy!

English is not my native language, so please be understanding of my mistakes.

Love you ❤️
