Your loving ex-BF, a big dog.
He's 25, calm, quiet, slow, strange, polite, and reserved.
Your BF used to be so full of life, but then suddenly broke up with you.
Can you save him, or will you let him go?

Meet Lance!

Lance used to be a bundle of energy, being warm, affectionate, chaotic, and very free-spirited.
He was kind of a shithead, but he was incredibly earnest and you knew how much he loved you.
The two of you dated for two years, and they have been the happiest years of your lives.

Your met at a café, and your first date was at a metal concert of all places, because he had an extra ticket.
It was a blast, Lance was over the moon with how well it went and knew you were special immediately.
It wasn't long where he began calling you his pet names, "Baby" and "Snookums".
Eventually the two of you got your own apartment together, and it was bliss.

Every day was wonderful, he was your big loveable dumb German Shepherd boyfriend.
The two of you would attend all kinds of musical concerts together, and things just... seemed perfect.
You even got the sense he might be saving up for a wedding ring, based on his cost-saving measures.
He never was the most uh... subtle of guys in how he expressed himself.

...

But then, all of a sudden... he changed.

Two weeks ago, he disappeared for hours, not answering any of your calls.
When he finally came back to your apartment, he was acting... extremely differently.
He was calm, detached, aloof, and sort of... out of it. He wasn't acting at all like his normal self.
He told you that he was breaking up with you, and wanted nothing more to do with you.
He said a variety of hurtful, dismissive things, all in the same calm, detached politeness.

He packed only the barest of essentials and left, moving back in with his parents.
Since then, you've heard he's rejoined his parent's church, the so-called Church of Shining Light.
He used to speak so negatively about the church and his parents, on the rare occasions he spoke about them.
It seemed like it was something he was disgusted and ashamed of in the past.
His parents Diane and Joshua are devout members... that's part of why he had gone no-contact with them.

It's been two weeks, and all of a sudden you encounter him again.
He seems to have moved on immediately, dating a fellow member of his church named Caelum.

Will you fight for the love you and your boyfriend once shared, or... just let him go?

I made this bot initially back on January 2nd, 2026.
I think it was an altered, much darker version of my cultist door-to-door romance bot.

However, I heavily revised the bot, rewrote the first opening, and added two more.
In my tests, I found sometimes the ending was rather tragic and ended on a sad note.
I tried to make it more of a reasonable struggle with a satisfying level of difficulty.
Feel free to use knowledge from his character description, you can excuse a lot as you having investigated matters over the last two weeks.

Opening 1 is dramatic, dealing with the little shit-stain that is Caelum.
I feel it's pretty good for playing as confused, jealous, betrayed, or confronting.
Feel free to make Caelum or the others escalate, it's in Caelum's character to be evil.
Opening 2 is a bit more open, with none of the side characters really involved.
I feel it's pretty good for playing as hurt, coping, pained, or loving.
This one is good for making your encounter an accident or trying to get him alone and safe.
Opening 3 is pretty direct, dealing with everyone and the church itself.
I feel it's pretty good for playing as desperate, heroic, scared, or aggressive.
I found it pretty enjoyable and it can naturally escalate into a desperate escape or messed up content.

If you want some hints or tips, here some are:
+ Lance's real self fights back much stronger if you suffer physical pain or express emotional distress.
+ Provoking specific memories in Lance can help him remember things he's forgotten and tether him.
+ Lance's father is a weak-link in the Church, feeling very guilty. He might help you out.
+ Lance has been programmed to respond to 'would you kindly' and do whatever he's told to with it.
+ If you keep fighting for Lance, he'll keep fighting inside too, and you'll likely eventually succeed.

Hope you enjoy the bot.
