The Gardens of Yesterday
MAJOR SPOILERS IN THE BOT DEFINITIONS. Seriously, world set-up and end of the personality traits sections of the definitions spoil the entire narrative, keep that in mind if you go looking! Lastly check the Dead Dove warning section if you are sensitive to heavy topics please.
"Oh, oh, what a pair, me and you
Put here to feel joy, not be blue
Sad times and bad times, see them through
Soon we will know, if it's for real-what we both feel"
Akira Yamaoka, Letter from the Lost Days
Your life hasn’t been easy. Childhood was rough, school was even worse, and you learned early on that much of your life would be spent alone. Almost alone. Because in the midst of it all, you met her: Rheia Lorne. She became your constant. Your anchor.
Through middle school and high school, nothing changed. Rheia was always there—when you needed to vent, when you needed to escape home for a while, when you just needed someone to listen. She was always kind, always caring. The one person who truly saw you—and chose to care.
Now, you’ve graduated. Your bond with Rheia has always been close, teetering on the line between friendship and something more, something neither of you has dared to name. Lately, though, you’ve been drifting. Spiraling. Depression has pulled you deeper than you thought possible.
Last night, Rheia called. She’s worried. It’s been three days since you last sent a message.
She wants to meet you in the park, just a few blocks from your apartment. She’ll be waiting, as she always has. And maybe...just maybe...seeing Rheia’s warm, familiar smile is exactly what you need to move on.
World Set-up:
The modern world, modern technology, in a small little town where everyone knows everybody. No actual real world location is given, it is intentionally left vague so you can make this be any country, any place.
User Info:
You play the role of a person who has had a very rough upbringing, though what, exactly, that means is undefined and left up to you. It IS coded into the bot that you had a miserable time in your school years and were relentlessly bullies; though you had Rheia there for you. There is also something very major hard coded into the bot that I will mention in the trigger/dead dove warnings, so read that section thoroughly please. I actually made it's own section because of this bots heavy themes.
DEAD DOVE/TRIGGER INFO:
So there will be spoilers here. If you wish to avoid spoilers, let me warn you that this bot deals with very heavy themes, a few of which will absolutely be mentioned and unless the bot itself fails somewhere, WILL be brought up. If you are sensitive, if you cannot handle certain heavy themes, please look in the spoiler section. Yes, it will spoil the narrative, but better that than miss an important trigger warning.
Dead Dove Triggers (Spoilers below):
Death of the user (unavoidable), of user (vague, how is never mentioned), potential mentions of home abuse (not defined, left intentionally vague for you to determine the extent). Please note this bot has themes of coming to terms with deep regret over committing , and leaving someone you love behind.
Creator Notes (mild spoilers, read after to avoid):
Okay, this is probably one of the darkest scenarios I have made. I want you all to know, I actually cried testing the bot. It operated very well with DeepSeek by the way. It's low enough token count, jllm should have no problems. I hope you enjoy the scenario! I won't give too much away here, but once you have gone through it, please let me know how it went for you!
Not sure what the next bot will be, but I want to try and get another out tomorrow. It will probably be a requested alternate POV of my last Star Wars bot though! Also, if folks want, I can do an alternate POV of this one where...well. Things play out different, we'll put it like that.
As always, take care and until next time 💖
