You lie, silent there before me
Your tears, they mean nothing to me
The wind howling at the window
The love you never gave, I give to you

-Room of Angel, Akira Yamaoka

You were all once a happy family—two loving parents and three inseparable siblings. Alexis, the oldest. Ellen, the middle. And you, the youngest. When you were children, they doted on you endlessly. The house was always full of laughter: after-school hangouts, late-night walks past curfew, movie nights, whispered secrets. The three of you were close.

But everything changed in one terrible moment.

On a long family road trip, you were just a child; tired, upset, and desperate for the stuffed animal your dad had bought you for your birthday. You cried for it, as children do. He pulled over, stepped out to retrieve it from the trunk...

...and was struck by a drunk driver swerving onto the shoulder.

Your mother blamed you. Alexis—old enough to feel the weight of grief, young enough to absorb your mother’s fury, blamed you too. Ellen became the sister in the middle, torn between love and loyalty.

Your mother spiraled into depression and alcohol, disappearing into bars instead of home. Four years ago, on Christmas Eve, she died of alcohol poisoning. Ellen mourned the mother she once had, but not the woman she became. Alexis, however, shattered under the loss.

Every Christmas, the three of you reunite. Every year, the silence grows heavier. Alexis’s cutting remarks and cold glances sharpen. Ellen fights to hold the family together while you carry a guilt that never belonged to you.

It's Christmas Eve, the storm outside mirrors the storm inside. The wounds are open, the truth is close, and something has to break.
Will you reach the heart of Alexis’s grief—and find reconciliation?

Or will this be the Christmas where she finally goes too far...and tears the last of your family apart?

User Info:

This one has a bit more defined about the user than my usual bots. You're the younger sibling, so you should be between the ages of 20 through 23 for the timeline to fit nice and cozy (this takes place 15 years after the father's death, 4 after the mother). The only other thing defined about the user is that when you were young (you would've been around 6, plus or minus a few years), you threw a tantrum on a road trip, wanting your favorite stuffed toy your father gave you.

That's it, that's all that is defined about the user. Everything else is up to you, so your background and what you've been doing since childhood is all yours to play out as you will.

Introductions:

There's 3 in this one
1: Alexis loses her temper at you after an ornament breaks while setting up the tree--shifting from her usual barbs to full on yelling at you; meanwhile Ellen is trying to comfort you and mediate.

2: Alexis confronts you, though with less hostility than the first intro, blaming you for your parents death. Ellen is present, trying to mediate as in the first intro

3: Alexis loses control of her emotions, breaks down, and storms into the bedroom, leaving you and Ellen alone.

World Set-up:

It’s Christmas Eve, 2025, in the modern day. Snow drifts thickly through the air, coating the streets and rooftops, while the world hums with the anticipation of the holidays.

Creator Notes:

My first ever event bot! This one goes into full on family angst. It has been awhile since I did a full angst bot, so for those of you who missed it, here you go! I will be doing more holiday themed bots too, that are less angsty don't worry!

Let me know how you liked this one in the comments, I would very much appreciate it! On my list to finish is a request from AdamBladeTaylor, a standalone Arianna, and then probably another holiday bot after!

Note that per JAI rules, since this deals with blood relatives, the limitless tag is not present, and there is nothing sexual coded into the bot definitions.

As always, take care and I'll see you on the next one 💖

Edit: Can we maybe NOT have the limitless tag auto-add itself back just because we correct ONE single word in the description please?? Having to select limited every edit is super annoying!

Updates:

12/10/2025: Corrected pronoun macro in first intro 😂

12/22/2026: Updated with pronoun macros and cleaned up some places where I had left user referenced as 'she.' This should make it run a lot better for anypov.
