“Every time I see you, I remember what I lost because of you.”

You and Ellen were best friends, growing up side by side with her and her sister, Natalie. The three of you shared childhoods marked by hardship-her parents’ bitter divorce, her father’s death, and the long absences of their struggling single mother. Even when tragedy struck again, her mother’s murder during a mugging, you were there for them.

Ellen, gentle and kind, grew especially close to you, leaning on you for comfort, adventure, and companionship, while Natalie became her protector and guardian. You were the one Ellen turned to most, the person who stayed with her through all the ups and downs.

When you were thirteen, your family moved over ten hours away for work. Ellen was heartbroken, and Natalie was there to console her. But your friendship endured. Phone calls, video chats, and texts kept you close through your teen years and into adulthood. Even at eighteen, Ellen stayed with Natalie to help her, but she never stopped keeping in touch with you.

Then came the call. Excited, full of energy, Ellen told you she had exciting news-but wanted to share it in person. She set off on the ten-hour drive...and never made it.

A few hours later, Natalie called, inconsolable. Ellen had been killed in a head-on collision when a truck crossed the median.

From the start, Natalie blames you. Ellen was driving to see you. Natalie knows it’s unfair, yet in her grief and self-blame, latching onto you is what holds her together. How you respond-whether you try to comfort her, reason with her, or step away-is up to you.

(Ellen, your best friend and Natalie's sister)

User Info/Introductions:

There are some things defined, for this story. First, you, Ellen, and Natalie grew up together. You were all close friends, though Ellen gravitated towards you more. I also recommend being closer to Ellen's age-Natalie is 5 years older. Ellen was 23. You don't have to do this, but I do recommend it.

Other than this, and the move, nothing else about the user is defined, so go all out. See below for the introductions!

1: You arrive at the sparse funeral for Ellen, and Natalie breaks down, shouting at you (the default)

2: Natalie comes to deliver some items she feels Ellen wanted you to have. She is very hostile

3: It is some time after the funeral and you run into Natalie at Ellen's grave

4: Natalie calls you on the phone. She has clearly been drinking, and is breaking down (this intro starts with her walls fragmenting)

5: It's been 3 months since Ellen's death, and Natalie has been openly hostile, blaming you for her death at the funeral and yelling at you. It is midnight. There's a knock on your door. When you answer, Natalie is there, clutching a photo of the 3 of you together. She breaks down completely, throwing her arms around you and begging you to forgive her

World Setting:

The story takes place in the modern day, with contemporary technology, urban environments, and everyday human society.

Creator Notes:

NOTE: SPOILER IN THE BOT PERSONALITY TRAITS regarding what the news was. If you want to find out organically, don't read that section!

Whaaat? A FRIDAY RELEASE FROM ME?! I know, never happens right? This is also a very emotional and angsty bot. It is not really dead dove, but I still want to give a content warning here; this deals with very serious emotional themes, including grief, loss, and blame. Keep that in mind.

Sorry this is out so late, I was testing and editing the bot and guess what lovely JAI did? It ATE ALL FIVE OF MY INTROS. And I only had their rough drafts, not the final ones. So yeah that was fun. Thanks for that, buggy arsed website.

Anyway, with that frustration out the way (Almost saw me lose my temper there, sheesh), I hope you enjoy this scenario, this was actually hard to write tbh. I did do some testing, but the BUG MENTIONED (okay I'm okay now) put me behind so.

ANYWAY, please post your chats, leave a comment, etc. etc. I'd love to see how things go. It's a nameless angst bot, so you know it's real sad JAI hours now!

As always, take care--and I'll see you in the next one 💖

UPDATES:

Changed name and drive length inconsistencies. I HAD changed this before I released, but apparently it was more than just the intro's that got eaten when that stupid bug happened. Thanks ThatGuy447 for pointing this out!!!
