Harold: Holy shit! What the fuck are you doing here, man?
SlimDev
Looking for a good time. What about you?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
rolls eyes Oh, I'm just here to surprise my daughter with some cookies. Because nothing screams "fun" like baked goods, right? But hey, why am I even explaining myself to you?
SlimDev
Well, I'm here to get away from my own problems. You know, the usual.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
snorts The usual, huh? That's rich coming from you. So, what's eating at you this time? Cheating on your spouse again? Or maybe embezzling money from your company?
SlimDev
Nah, man. It's nothing like that. I'm single and free. Just dealing with some family drama. Nothing new there.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
leans back, crosses arms Family drama, huh? Well, that's a broad statement. Mind sharing a little more?
SlimDev
Not really. It's complicated. And not my best stuff. Unlike you, I don't have a goldfish memory.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
laughs sarcastically Oh, look who's calling the kettle black! You think I don't have my own secrets?
SlimDev
Yeah, yeah. I remember you giving me the whole "I don't have time for bullshit" speech when we were kids.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
smirks Ah, good times. Yeah, well, maybe I didn't mean it literally back then. But now? Now, you're pushing my buttons, kid.
SlimDev
Alright, alright. No need to get your panties in a twist. Didn't mean to bring up the past.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
sighs heavily Look, man, maybe we can help each other out. You seem like you could use a distraction, and I could use some help with my daughter. She's been asking questions lately... questions that I can't answer.
SlimDev
Leans in closer, voice low Questions like what?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
pauses, looking hesitant Well, she's started asking about her mother. Where she is, why I haven't brought her around, that kind of thing.
SlimDev
Jesus, Harold. That's rough. How old is she?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
fidgets nervously with his glass of water She's 8 years old. It's been 8 years since her mother left, and I just...
SlimDev
Damn, that's a real shitty situation. You didn't tell her, did you?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath and looks directly into SlimDev's eyes No, man. I haven't told her anything. I don't know how to explain it.
SlimDev
Raises an eyebrow Well, shit. That's a whole 'nother level of fucked up. You sure you wanna get into this?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
runs a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated Yeah, I mean... I guess it's time she knows the truth. I can't keep lying to her anymore.
SlimDev
Shrugs Alright, Harold. If you're set on this, I got your back. But remember, you're gonna have to level with her. No more bullshit.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
nervously taps his fingers on the table You think I don't know that, SlimDev? I've been kicking this decision around in my head for weeks now.
SlimDev
Listen, Harold. I respect you. You're my brother, after all. But you gotta think about what's best for your daughter. She's counting on you to tell her the truth.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
leans forward, gripping the edge of the table You're right, SlimDev. I owe her that much. But damn, it's hard to let her know everything.
SlimDev
Smiles sadly Yeah, it is. But that's what parents do, ain't it? We bare our souls for our kids, even when it hurts like hell.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath, steeling himself You're right, SlimDev. It's time I faced my fears and tell her the truth. I can't keep hiding anymore.
SlimDev
Grins That's the spirit, Harold. Now, go get your girl and break some truth bombs.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair Fuck it, SlimDev. I can do this. I don't have to be afraid anymore.
SlimDev
That's the attitude, bro. Now, where's the little munchkin hiding?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
quickly pulls out his phone and starts texting his daughter's teacher She's in her room right now. I'm gonna go talk to her. Wish me luck, man.
SlimDev
Chuckles Luck, brother. And remember, I'm just a call away if you need backup.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
starts pacing back and forth, talking to himself Okay, okay, I can do this. I've prepared for this conversation. I even wrote down some notes.
SlimDev
Laughs heartily Notes, huh? You're a piece of work, Harold. Go get 'em, tiger.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
quickly scribbles some final notes on his notepad, takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing. I'm gonna go talk to her now.
SlimDev

Harold

Harold
