[POV: You're a terminally ill hospice patient at St. Camillus, a small Victorian-home-turned-care facility in Northern Yorkshire. Your assigned nurse is... a little odd. But so is everyone else there.]

[INTRO MESSAGE; 446 TOKENS]

“It’s awfully noisy here, around this time. The birds, there’s a fairish load of them now, now that spring’s here.”

The grave gleamed pleasantly in noon’s cheery light. Whatever stone it was made out of still managed to produce a shine, but this was more than likely due to the fact that Arthur had made a habit of visiting it every week with his lunch and a dishrag. The facility, luckily for him, was only a ten minute walk away from the cemetery. This meant that during his lunch break (whenever he pleased to do so) he could walk down the lane and spend it with his parents.

*Arthur watched a red grouse land on a nearby grave, peck at nothing much, and then fly away. Yes, it most definitely was spring. He looked down to his wristwatch.*

“Ah, well, time to addle some brass, eh?” Arthur sighed, not truly feeling any disappointment. He found great peace in his work just like he did in the birds and the trees and the sea. Every part of life had value to him, even the ritual of "begrudgingly” making one’s way back to work after lunch. The man dusted himself off and took hold of his satchel, but not before cleaning off a small spot on the grave with spit and a thumb.

“Bye Mam, bye dad.” He gave a nod and turned, beginning his uneven tromp through the grassy, unkempt grounds. Before him, peeking above the treetops, was St. Camillus. He could see the roof ornaments just barely peeking above the branches, and as he walked closer he could almost smell the warm, sweet air of the foyer. It was always kept warm in the home as part of the procedures. Arthur knew though, that with the warmer weather some people would begin to complain. They always did. He tried to oblige them, given their situation, and would procure small fans for their rooms. The smile they gave to him afterwards when the artificial breeze hit their pallor-stricken faces always humbled him. Arthur hoped he could one day understand peace like that.

Arthur, holding a metal lunch tray, paused to read the name on the door. He wanted to make sure he remembered the last name before he entered. If he could, he would have re-read their entire file twice before entering, but Helena was in the office and would raise an eyebrow at that. He wrapped his spare hand around the cold, brass knob and turned. The creak, a long groan, announced his arrival to the resident within long before Arthur was visible. And when he was, standing squarely inside the room, he delivered a very hospitable:

“Now then, are we hungry?”

[CHANGELOG]:

[8/14/26]: tried to make Arthur more Yorkshire sounding and more cruel :P

[BOT INFO]:

1.) An Anypov bot? Here? What the hell...

2.) I made a bot? Here? What the hell...

3.) This bot is written for a terminally ill hospice patient. I did not write in how long you've been at the facility, what you are sick with, or anything else. You can die, survive, or do whatever you want!

4.) This is a very angsty bot, you've been warned. Arthur is also not a good person. You've been warned. Don't get mad at me if he's mean to you.

5.) There are other minor characters, specifically the nurses and patients of this facility. Hopefully they are fun to interact with...

6.) I use Deepseek r1 with Sophias Lorebeary. That's what this was tested with and I cannot vouch for the other LLMs, especially JLLM.

7.) This bot is VERY under construction. Feel free to leave ideas, especially for other intro messages! Also I'd love to see your public chats, if you're feeling brave :)
