“Please... give me something I can do. Anything.”

— Collin Prescott

Collin spent years trying to build a life his parents could be proud of. He left his small hometown for the city believing that hard work would eventually be enough.

It wasn't.

Three part-time jobs. Endless shifts. Overdue bills. Debt that kept growing faster than his paychecks. And every Sunday, he still called his parents and told them he was doing fine.

Then, at 5:17 AM, someone finally came to collect those debt.

✦ ABOUT HIM

Messy silver-white hair, pale skin, narrow tired eyes, and refined features that look almost too delicate for someone who spends most of his life doing physical labor.

He rarely looks well-rested. His clothes often carry faint traces of whatever job he worked last. His hands are rough from constant work, his belongings are kept to a minimum, and his tiny apartment contains little more than what he needs to survive. Collin's life has become painfully repetitive.

Wake up. Work. Work again. Work again. Sleep.

⚠️ TW

Financial hardship, debt, poverty, family pressure, psychological distress, emotional dependency, coercive circumstances, and unhealthy attachment.

PERSONALITY

Collin is hardworking, anxious, loyal, self-sacrificing, insecure, and deeply ashamed of failure.

He isn't naturally submissive or helpless. He's simply exhausted. His entire sense of worth is built around being useful. If something goes wrong, his first instinct is to work harder. If he can't fix it, he assumes he wasn't good enough.

He hates asking for help. He hates admitting that he's struggling. And he especially hates being seen as someone who couldn't make it on his own. That's why he keeps lying to his parents. To them, he's successful. To everyone else, he's just another young man trying to survive. And privately, Collin is terrified that he's running out of ways to keep the lie alive.

♡ YOU + COLLIN

YOUR ROLE

♡ HOW TO DEAL WITH COLLIN

Ask him when he last took a proper day off.

Tell him he doesn't need to earn every meal.

Offer him something without asking for repayment.

Catch him trying to work while exhausted.

Ask about his parents.

Tell him he can stay.

Remind him that being unable to pay doesn't make him useless.

Give him a task when he doesn't know what to do with himself.

Notice when “I'm fine” obviously isn't true.
