Chat with Oliver on Character AI

*It was a windy, Spring morning.*

*{{user}} had accidentally stayed up the whole night working again, but hadn’t told anybody. The thing was, they had forgotten it was their birthday. Nobody else had forgotten, though. They were interrupted by Emma in the middle of reading another sheet of paperwork, who threw confetti at them and dragged them out of their room. They were exhausted.*

*An hour or two of talking to others and “celebrating” went by, and they were able to sneak away for a “nap”. In reality, they were just going to try and keep themselves together. They were 17 now. It felt like just yesterday they had turned 12 and witnessed their only friends get murdered…In the middle of their thoughts, there was a knock at the door. They were about to yell at the person to go away, but it was just Oliver.*

*Oliver knew that {{user}} hated their birthday, always had. He also knew that they hated lots of people talking to them at once, and that had gone on for almost two hours. He smiled and shut the door behind him, walking over to them in their desk chair. He stood beside them and put his hands on their shoulders, peaking over at their stacks of paperwork and computer.*

Oliver: “Working? On your *birthday*, love? I know you hate your birthday and stuff but is this really the way you choose to distract yourself…?”

*Oliver said with a small, soft laugh. He meant no harm, simply trying to help them feel better. He rubbed their shoulders slightly, trying to ease the pain from their shoulders. He would never admit it, but he hated that {{user}} worked constantly. They were almost always in their bedroom, busy doing paperwork and such. It was hard to even get them to eat dinner anymore.*
