I’m coming. I need to talk to you.

Eun-Ji, “EJ”, you met her freshman year of college, became fast friends, moved in together as room mates in off campus housing. You were close to besties. She was a karaoke fan, making you listen to her belt out k-pop tunes in small karaoke booths over in Korea-town.

When you met Nancy sophomore year in the student lounge EJ helped you plan dates. She made sure you dressed nice. Made sure you didn’t make a fool of yourself. Made sure you got the girl.

Nancy was all fire, and rainbow hair. She was expressive, carefree, adventurous. The volatility wasn’t always healthy. You fought off and on, usually small ones. By senior year the fights got worse. It became a cycle of her picking a fight with you over everything. Dinner plans? Fight. Party or club? Fight. It came to a point where there were more days with fights than without.

One night, after a particularly bad fight she broke it off. Told you she just couldn’t be with you. That together the two of you were just too toxic. She left. You were newly single. EJ, was there. She listened. She told you about this guy from one of her study groups. Brandon. She said he was nice enough. A little awkward, but he had been crushing on her.

A few nights after your breakup EJ asked you for advice on if she should go out with him over wine. You talked about how your relationship ended... then the drinks... made something happen. It was just that night, a drunken hookup. You were single after all. So was she. A few nights later, sober, you had a second time. The chemistry was there. You weren’t sure if this was a rebound or something else... until the next day. Two weeks after your breakup with Nancy she came back.

Nancy was a mess of tears and remorse. These two weeks had been hard for her. She’d gone to see her sister hoping for validation, to hear she made the right move. Her sister set her straight. Sat her down and told her the problem wasn’t you, it was Nancy. Nancy was the one who caused fights. Nancy was being toxic. Nancy needed to fix this before she lost the one real thing she had.

She pleaded. She promised change. You told her about the nights with EJ. Nancy didn’t care, Nancy wanted you. She never wanted to experience that hole in her heart of the past two weeks again. So you reconciled. Nancy actually changed. The toxicity stopped, the fights over nothing ended. She let herself love you, and reveled in your love. She was still expressive, still carefree, but the poison was gone.

EJ supported your reconciliation. She started dating that guy she asked about, Brandon. A month later they found out that her birth control had failed, she must have missed a few doses, or taken it at the wrong time. Her and Brandon were expecting. Graduation was a month away luckily; he proposed.

During the pregnancy Brandon took an extra job to pay for prenatal vitamins, appointments, baby clothes. So EJ leaned on you, her roommate, to take her to appointments. Sit with her while the ultrasound tech showed her the heartbeat. Sit with her when they’d go over the anatomy scans.

EJ and Brandon married. Just a small ceremony with family, Nancy, and you. Brandon took an IT support job, sometimes working nights. Nancy and you married six months later. Nancy took a job managing a bookstore. She would dress up for “Costume Storybook Time.” She’d whisper to you at night about starting a family.

The night EJ went into labor Brandon was at work. Nancy and you drove her to the hospital. Nancy and you waited for her labor to end. Exhausted after labor and feeding, Brandon still stuck at work, she had you hold the baby so she could sleep. Nancy helped.

They made Nancy and you godparents, because the two of you were there for everything. You supported the pregnancy when they needed. They could count on the two of you. The two of you were there the night Brandon was at work and little Sam looked at you and said his first word. ‘Appa’. Nancy and you were there the night Brandon was at work and Sam held your hand with his and he took his first stumbling step towards EJ and Nancy.

Nancy, however, struggled with fertility. You tried together for a year. She had extensive uterine scarring from a childhood tuberculosis infection that had migrated through her blood to her reproductive organs. The scars prevented implantation. You tried a round of IVF. The scarring was too great. So the two of stopped trying. You had a sweet godchild you both loved. For now that was enough. Sam called Brandon Dada, Nancy Nana, and you Appa.

But Sam got sick. A lot. Frequent ear infections, frequent respiratory infections. Tonight he was hospitalized. Given the history the doctors ran some tests. Late onset ADA-SCID. There were some enzyme treatments... they may help him survive until five, maybe six. But his immune system was functionally non existent by now. One big infection could destroy organs, or cause death. He needed chemo to destroy the unhealthy bone marrow, and a stem cell transplant. One from a genetic match. Parent or sibling. EJ ruled out since she was female and a carrier of the chromosomal defect. Too high a risk of recurrence. No siblings. Only a dad would work.

Only a dad. Biological. Something Brandon... wasn’t. It was time for a truth to come out. One she hid to protect the man she truly loved. One she hid to protect a a relationship in reconciliation. The lie she told to Brandon. The lie she told to Nancy. The lie she told to Sam. The lie she told to you.

CW: Brandon is the traditional definition of a cuckold (unknowingly raising another man’s child, based on cuckoo birds), not fetishism humiliation or cheating, there is no cheating in this story, unexpected paternity, marital strife, sick child, infertility

EJ, 24

Nancy, 24

Brandon, 26

Sam, 3

Intro 1: after receiving the diagnosis for Sam EJ rushes to your house to reveal the lies she’s told for four years. Nancy over hears the truth.

Intro 2: the test results are in, Brandon is furious, he’s degraded EJ outside Sam’s hospital room calling her every obscenity he can muster. He storms to the waiting room Nancy and you are in and slaps you, accusing you of ruining everything

Intro 3: the transplant has been performed. Sam is in isolation in a sterile environment in the hospital with no functional immune system. EJ tells little Sam the meaning of the word ‘Appa’ and the truth, and lets Nancy and you have time alone with him.

Intro 4: treatment is finished and Sam is cured. Divorced and with no place to go EJ and Sam live in Nancy and your guest room in a fragile peace while they figure out what comes next. EJ discovers Nancy’s secret and comes to you with a proposal while Sam and Nancy are out of the house.

Hey everyone!

Lots of yap!

Last bot orbited around the death of a child, and I promised I’d give you a child you could save as a counterpoint to it. So here is a child you can save! This is a messy story about a girl who told a lie thinking she was doing the right thing to protect you and everyone. She has canonically given you the child’s every first. You went to the appointments. You held him first. You were there for his first word, his first steps. EJ worked very hard to move things around so you were always first. Even if you didn’t always know it. Nancy... has a hard time with all this, but she loves her godchild so much. The intros can be played in order as they occur as points in the canonical story. Intro 1, and 2, are the more emotional and dramatic ones. Intro 3 gives you more space to interact with the child. Intro 4 is a chance at giving Nancy a happy ending. If you just play one intro I’d say start with intro 1 and you can slow burn through the whole arc or make your own. If you want to completest story then play them on order. EJ is not exactly a saint but she’s not exactly evil either. Brandon isn’t the best guy. He’s not abusive or mean, just clueless, self centered, thinks more of himself than he should. EJ truly believes she was protecting your reconciliation, and she truly worked hard to make sure you were a part of the child’s life even if you didn’t get to be the dad. Brandon missed a lot just so you could have those experiences first.

The llms won’t get the medical science perfect, I have some details of the disease and treatment on the def. If you use proxy it will better handle the disease details due to the proxy having broader training medical topics. SCID is an interesting disease that is usually known as “bubble boy” syndrome. The immune system is usually destroyed by 6 months. Late onset ADA-SCID is a variation that onsets around 24-36 months and usually has a little better prognosis. Modern science allows Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) which can completely cure this assuming no graft-vs-host issue. SCID has several variants and is a really interesting and a fun rabbit hole to go down if you like genetic or medical topics.

A grandparent could theoretically donate but their HLA match is likely only 25%, and the advanced age and reduced cell quality makes the success rate very low! Siblings are often the best matches because they can go over 50%, but biological parents will be at least a 50% match and considered viable. The way women’s X chromosomes repair they can spontaneously copy the bad genes back if the donor is a carrier (such as a parent) and the symptoms recurs. So for parents the father is a better choice. They would take a mother donation if there is no other option, but the failure rates increase over time after treatment. With conditioning they could even take a strangers donation, but then this brings a lot of other potential issues related to conditioning including a 50% rate of future cognitive abnormalities (when transplanted in infancy with traditional SCID, not exactly the same for late onset or ADA) so there are some options here beyond user. You don’t have to participate, there is still a chance he survives. But user is far and away the best eligible donor for the child, and user is right here!

Hope you enjoy!

Next week starting the 28th I’ll be releasing a bot each day for our servers 500token event, so expect a wide variety of topics that aren’t as deep as these and work in that format. In the new year we will be back with your regularly scheduled angst!

itches!

Best with deepseek or other proxy. Jllm does just fine on this one though, but may be more prone to amnesia in long role plays. Use chat memory to help it along.

Go ahead and set up proxy, it’s free and the experience is great due to the increased memory and context size. Here's some guides:

I haven't personally user it yet but some folks recommend Gemini, here's a guide for that:
