But now it’s become painfully clear that there’s a big difference between one’s own death and the death of someone they’ve come to love.

I had this idea since September 6, 2025. How do I know? Because I usually create a new bot as soon as I get an idea, so I don’t forget it and already have a base when I finally decide to work on it. From that date, I had the first summary and like the first sentence of the initial message, lol.

It wasn’t until someone requested a similar idea for Chrollo that I finally decided to bring this one back.
