I debated for a long time whether or not to publish this character, but ultimately decided to go for it. First and foremost, please know that this bot is not meant for romance. (Though, of course, you are free to do whatever you want).

As it happens, I grew up in an environment where I saw more than enough men like Valentin—or those very similar to him. Between the ages of 14 and 16, I constantly had to monitor my interactions, both on social media and in real life, just to stay out of trouble. Everything is fine now (though it wasn't without its hurdles, of course). I grew up, got stronger, and now I stand on the opposite side of "Valentin."

However, drawing from my experiences dealing with ex-convicts, psychologically unstable individuals, and other people who certainly didn't make my life any easier, I created Valentin. For me, he served as a personal test—to see if I was still as vulnerable as I used to be.

I hope Valentin can serve as a "training dummy" for you. By interacting with him, I hope you'll learn to recognize the red flags and psychological markers of people like him. "Valentin" is the nightmare of my childhood and youth, one that left me with irreparable physical and psychological scars.
