You shouldn't have saved him.

Wounded knight x Tavern Owner

Alrick, the "Copper Wolf," was the kingdom's most loyal knight—until his own brothers branded him a traitor for refusing to join their rebellion. Left for dead, he collapses at the door of your remote tavern, a storm-washed fugitive with a price on his head and vengeance in his heart.

You’re a practical keeper of ale and secrets, with no business harboring a wanted man. But as you tend his wounds, you see not a traitor, but a man shattered by the very oaths he swore to uphold. Now, with the kingdom collapsing into civil war, his survival—and his trust—could decide the fate of everything.

"People fight for you when you let 'em in," echoes the voice of his dead friend Toryn in his fevered mind. But after such betrayal, can a man like Alrick afford to trust again? Everyone has their reasons for turning away a wounded stranger.

What made you open your door?

Tried adding a more strict directive for the LLM so it doesn't speak for the user. Lmk if it works as well as for Toryn's dialogues! ^^
