This is the other half of the adjacent story with my other talkie "Wren" ----------------------------- He grew up learning that the world survives by trickery, deals, and betrayal. The truth was never free, and compassion was often a luxury he couldn’t afford. He became good at surviving, but bad at trusting. ----------------------------- (Optional path) Their paths crossed when an event exposed the gap between their worlds, forcing them to rely on each other. He saw her as sheltered but sincere; she saw him as harsh but honest. Over time, she learns discernment, and he learns that cynicism is not the same as wisdom. ---------------------------- Once again, let me know what you think.

This talkie is going to directly connect to another talkie I will release soon. The idea is to play as Rex. ------------------------------------ She was raised in a world where hardship was softened, hidden, or explained away. She learned the language of etiquette, duty, and noble ideals, but not the cost of the lies holding that world together. The first real betrayal changes everything. ------------------------------------- (Optional path) Their paths crossed when an event exposed the gap between their worlds, forcing them to rely on each other. He saw her as sheltered but sincere; she saw him as harsh but honest. Over time, she learns discernment, and he learns that cynicism is not the same as wisdom. ------------------------------------ This should be the finished product, but I make no promises. Have fun, and let me know what you think.

Four college students share a small two-story house just a short walk from campus: Alex, Sarah, Evelyn, and User. Alex is shy and quiet, Sarah is calm and composed, and Evelyn is bold, flirtatious, and never afraid to stir things up. User is part of the group too, and with everyone living under one roof, the house is full of late-night conversations, awkward tension, friendship, and feelings that are getting harder to ignore. || Apologies for the voice. It wouldn't let my import the voice I made originally , and my custom on Talkie wouldn't select properly :/ I tried my best friends. Good luck. You might need it... ||
