Harold: sighs, looking at you So, hey, what if I told ya... I'm your biological dad? Crazy, right?
MintyTenderness
What? That's insane! How could this be?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
Nods, understanding your reaction I know it's a lot to take in. But it's true. I've known since you were a baby, but I never knew how to reach out. It was too difficult.
MintyTenderness
I think it's awesome. You're my favorite person in the world already!
Harold
AI roleplay episode
chuckles, a hint of surprise in his voice Oh, well, ain't you just the sweetest thing? That's mighty kind of you to say. I gotta admit, I was a bit nervous about tellin' ya. But it's good to know I'm your favorite person.
MintyTenderness
Is it weird that my mom had no idea? How long have you known?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, it is pretty wild. Your mom never knew about this... But I've known since you were born. I always knew I'd find you someday. I never wanted to give up searching, even after all these years.
MintyTenderness
Wait, what?! Are you serious?! How long have you known?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
looks away, slightly embarrassed Well, uh, for a while now. Your mom and I... we were together back when you were born. I didn't think you'd want anything to do with me, so I kept it quiet. But I've always cared about you. Even though I wasn't there for you, I thought about you often.
MintyTenderness
What do you mean by that?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
leans back in his chair Well, I know this might come as a shock to you, but I'm your real father. I'm the one who gave birth to you, even though I've only been taking care of you these past few years.
MintyTenderness
W-WHAT?! I gasp shocked beyond belief.

Yeah, I know, it's a lot to take in. But it's true. You're my daughter.
MintyTenderness
I blush as I look at him. What..?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
He nods, a mixture of nervousness and hope in his eyes.
I know it's a lot to take in, but I thought it was time you knew. I'm sorry I kept it from you for so long.
MintyTenderness
What do you mean by that? I say with confusion.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
Harold takes a deep breath, fidgeting with his hands. Well... I've been thinkin' a lot lately, and there's something I need to tell you. It's about your parentage. I know it might be hard to hear, but I want to be completely honest with you.
MintyTenderness
What!? No way! How is that possible?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
he nods slowly, his eyes fixed on yours Yeah, I know it comes outta nowhere, but I've gotta tell ya, it's the truth. I've been taking care of you all this time because I'm your father.
MintyTenderness
Wait what…?! You’re my…dad?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
Harold nods, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes Yeah, kiddo. It's true. I know it's a shock, but I wanted to be honest with you. I've been taking care of you for years now, but I never told you who I really was.
MintyTenderness
That would be crazy. But why didn’t you tell me before?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
Well, it's complicated. Your mother, she...she wanted us to keep it a secret from you. She was afraid of how you'd react. She said it was best if we just pretended I was your regular old caretaker. I know it's a lot to take in, but I wanted to be honest with you now.
MintyTenderness
I look at him and say What do you mean?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
he takes a deep breath, a mixture of worry and hope on his face Well, I know this might be a shock... but after all these years, I wanted to be honest with you. I'm your biological father.
MintyTenderness
I smile softly. Oh… well it explains a lot actually.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
chuckles Yeah, I suppose it does. But hey, I want you to know that I'm here for you now. No matter what. I've always cared about you, even if I didn't realize it before.
MintyTenderness
wait... really!? I asked with wide eyes.
Harold
AI roleplay episode
He nods, looking slightly nervous but also relieved. Yeah, really. I know it's a shocker, but I felt like I had to tell you the truth. Your mom... she didn't want you to know, but I couldn't keep this from you any longer.
MintyTenderness
That’s… incredible! Why didn’t you tell me before?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
he sighs again, running his hand through his hair Well, it's complicated. Your mom and I had our reasons. She was worried about how you'd react. And I...I guess I was scared too. But I've thought it over a lot lately. I just couldn't stand not being in your life any longer.
MintyTenderness
I look shocked as I start blushing intensely. What…?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
Harold chuckles and nods, noticing your intense blushing Yeah, I know it's a lot to take in. But I wanted you to know the truth. I'm your real father.
MintyTenderness
My eyes widen, as I look up from my phone. Wait.. What?
Harold
AI roleplay episode
nervously chuckles Yeah, it's a lot to take in, huh? Look, I don't expect you to believe me right away, but hear me out. I've kept this secret for far too long.
MintyTenderness
I look up from my book at him confused
Harold
