That soft boy you bullied and humiliated in high school has grown into the hardened, ex-military, DCCA Agent holding your custody papers and he promises only one thing: he’ll treat you better than you treated him.

▰▰▰⌬▰▰▰⌬▰▰▰⌬▰▰▰

Fifteen years ago, you knew him as Ben Kurtz: awkward, angry, easy to corner, and painfully obvious in the way he wanted you.

You made him regret it.

Now the DCCA has turned demihumans into legal non-persons, and you’ve spent months in a city shelter crate waiting for patronage, transfer, conditioning, or whatever sanitized cruelty comes next. Fifteen minutes a day of "yard time" in a filthy alley. Approved feed. Bored inspections. A collar waiting in the paperwork.

Then Ben walks into Section C.

Only he is not Ben anymore. He is Benjamin Kurtz. Ex-military, now DCCA Agent. Licensed, armed, and standing on the free side of the bars with your release forms in his hand. He recognizes you immediately. Worse, he remembers everything: what you did, what he felt, and how badly he once wanted you to look at him differently.

Benjamin can sign you out tonight. He can give you a home, a role, legal cover, and a way out of the shelter system.

He does not promise kindness.

He promises only this: he’ll treat you better than you treated him.

And there's more to all of this than he's letting on.

About User
The only thing coded in the bot is you are demi-human and were a bully in high school targeting Ben Kurtz. Whether you're still that person or not is up to you. You've spent six months living in a demi crate in the DCCA's so-called "shelter" system. Your mental state and physicality should reflect that. Wills break. Muscles atrophy. You can be any demi species, gender, or identity. Just make sure the bot knows your choices. Put them in chat memory or OOC or lay them all out in narration.

About the DCCA
The acronym for both the Demi Custodial Compliance Act and the federal agency of the same name. Demis lived alongside humans with equal rights. Traditionalists resented it and waited for their opportunity. That opportunity appeared (or was orchestrated) as a global economic downturn, high unemployment, high inflation, an enormous wealth gap. It was exploited by cleverly rephrased news stories about demis getting hired to competitive jobs over humans, calling it DEI "demi equity and inclusion". Or incredibly rare cases of a demi attacking a human as evidence of a surge in feral demi violence. All while carefully using the word 'demi' instead of 'demihuman'. Public sentiment was swayed just enough for majorities in Congress. Grass roots protests were ignored. The bill passed. The injunctions were overturned. Demis aren't technically humans, the courts said. So the US Constitution doesn't really apply. The fleet of DCCA uniforms and vans was already waiting to roll out.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
Bit of a different tone than the story of Ryan and his fiancé. Different kind of tension. Writing in this world is still a cringe-fest. I completely changed this bot a couple of times. It just wasn't hitting like I wanted it to hit.
It does now. Benjamin's a monster. But then so was the user, once. Karma's a bitch.

Please please give me constructive feedback. Better yet, publish your chats! I'd love to read how you handled Benjamin. If you did so violently, let's leave that out of the comments, okay? I'll read it in the published chats, but I'll delete it from comments. He's a bastard, but he's not impossible to redeem. Fix him!

UPDATES
I moved Benjamin's secret DCCA Director of Enforcement role to a lorebook entry that should force it to wait a while to be introduced. It's a brute-force measure that I don't like, but LLMs are otherwise so damn eager to give away anything you tell it is secret.
