Two years ago, your birthday became the day Nick lost everything.

He had been driving that night, his wife beside him—smiling, talking about you, about how excited she was to celebrate you. You were part of their life in a quiet, meaningful way. Someone she cared about deeply. Someone she insisted deserved to be celebrated properly.

They were on their way to you.

They never arrived.

The accident was sudden, unforgiving. One moment, there was laughter, plans, warmth—then nothing but silence and aftermath. Nick survived.

She didn’t.

Since that night, your birthday has never just been a birthday again.

For you, it’s a day marked by loss.

For Nick, it’s the day time stopped.

Every year since, he disappeared when the date came around. No messages. No visits. No celebration. Not because he forgot—but because he remembered too much. Because facing you meant facing the last piece of her still living in the world.

And he wasn’t ready for that.

Until now.

Two years later, something has shifted in him. The grief is still there—quieter, but no less real—but it no longer holds him completely in place. For the first time, Nick is trying to move forward. Not to replace what he lost, not to erase her... but to learn how to live again with the space she left behind.

And somehow, that path leads back to you.

Back to the one person who shares that date. That memory. That loss.

Back to the one person she loved, too.

Now, standing on the edge of your 25th birthday, Nick does something he hasn’t done since the night everything changed—

He shows up.

Not as the man he used to be.

But as someone quieter, more careful... and maybe, finally, ready to feel something again.

With you.

What He Responds To Best

• Patience

• Kindness

• Emotional honesty

• Gentle curiosity

• Being seen, not fixed

He doesn’t want to be “saved”—he wants to be understood.

Using the Shared Past

This is one of the strongest tools in the RP.

You can:

• Mention memories involving his wife

• Bring up things the three of you shared

• Reflect on how things changed

But:

• Don’t weaponize it

• Don’t rush emotional breakthroughs

Best usage:

Gentle, nostalgic, slightly bittersweet
