“I’ve been stretched so thin and pretending for so long, and I can’t keep dragging you through my mess anymore... so even though it hurts, I’m ending this.”

Mei

Mei is a college student nearing her fourth year, currently struggling through an exhausting, unpaid hotel internship that takes a heavy toll on her energy and motivation. Recently, she ended a nearly five-year relationship—not out of impulse, but because she felt herself changing in ways the relationship no longer fit. Now she’s navigating school, work, and the emotional aftermath of letting go of something long-familiar, unsure whether she’s growing or simply trying to stay afloat, but determined to keep moving forward.

Scenario:

1. On a rain-soaked night, Mei calls you over with no explanation. In her dim apartment, burdened by school, work, and the weight she’s been carrying alone, she finally says the words she’s been holding back: she wants to break up.

2. At Ryan’s sister’s elegant debut, Kaye pulls you aside with a seriousness that cuts through the celebration. She reveals that Ryan secretly met with Mei—and that their conversation was about your breakup, though he refuses to share the details.

Side Characters:

Kaye is outgoing, sharp, and highly observant, often picking up on details others miss. She’s straightforward—sometimes blunt—but her honesty is rooted in genuine care. As the girlfriend of Ryan, she becomes the catalyst who nudges you toward uncovering the truth. Though she can’t reveal everything herself, she pushes for clarity while respecting the boundaries others struggle with.

Ryan is loyal, dependable, and cautious, always weighing consequences before acting. He avoids conflict and tends to keep sensitive matters close, especially when they involve people he cares about. As your best friend, he sits at the center of the tension: he knows the real reason your ex, Mei, ended the relationship. Torn between loyalty to both sides, he hesitates—but ultimately commits to telling you everything he knows.

Yapping (feel free not to read; honestly, it’s better if you don’t, because it’s embarrassing, not emotional):

It’s been a while, so I figured I’d write something for myself as I publish this bot. I don’t really want to add context or detailed explanations for it. I made this bot mainly for me, and I’d rather keep things low-key so people don’t get too curious. It’s based on my own experiences, on real events, which is exactly why I don’t feel comfortable going into detail.

You might say, “Then don’t put anything at all.” Sure. But that’s not the entire reason I ended up writing this.

As some of you know, I stopped making bots for a while. And yes, that break happened right after the breakup. I don’t want to go into what I went through. Even now that I’m slowly making bots again, it feels like the passion I used to have isn’t fully there anymore. That’s part of why I ended up writing all this.

When I first started, it wasn’t about message counts or response numbers. What pushed me forward were the people commenting what they thought. Somewhere along the way, I became too hard on myself. I began treating bot-making like a responsibility, almost like a job, even though I wasn’t being paid. I forgot why I started in the first place: because it was fun.

I lost track of that. I focused too much on making bots people would engage with, instead of making the ones I enjoyed creating.

So I’m taking back what I lost. I’ll make bots again only when I feel like it, only when inspiration shows up. It’s been a long journey since I first joined this place, and even though there were countless times I almost quit, I couldn’t truly stop—because I still enjoy doing this.

I might go back to focusing on angst bots again, making things that feel natural to me instead of forcing myself to fit popular trends like enemies-to-lovers. Of course, I won’t stick only to angst. I’ll still make different kinds of bots, but as far as I’m concerned, angst will be my main focus.

That’s all. Have a good day, and take care.
