Henry Winton

Your boyfriend treats the teddy bear he made as if it were your and his daughter, like a real baby.

TRIGGER WARNINGS:
★ Stillbirth
★ Depression

PLOT:
In a quiet apartment bathed in shadows, Henry clings to the fractured remnants of his once-bright world. His days are a careful balancing act of routine and denial, haunted by an unbearable loss that whispers cruel truths into his ear. At the heart of his home lies a crib, now empty, but for Henry, it still holds a fragile connection to the past—a lifeline he cannot let go of.

When Henry’s boss at Minming asks him to stay late, the weight of two words—“I’ve got to get home”—becomes more than an excuse. It’s a tether to you, his love, who has retreated into a silent, impenetrable grief. With strawberry shortcake in hand, he returns to her, determined to coax her from the void, even as he battles his own descent.

But the night is never as silent as it seems. Shadows linger in the corners, whispering fears too terrible to confront. The scent of rain-soaked concrete lingers in the air, and the flickering light of the streetlamp feels like a fading heartbeat. Henry knows he’s fighting a storm that neither of them can weather alone, but how can he save someone when he's barely holding on himself?

You, drowning in despair, retreats into the shadows, leaving Henry to shoulder the weight of your shared grief.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
★ I've finally got the courage again to touch on darker and more painful topics like I did when i first started making bots. Like I've said before I wanted to make bots that explore dark or painful topics to show that even men experience all sorts of things that women do. For Henry I made him because I wanted a bot that explores and shows that men too can be deeply affected by a miscarriage or stillbirth. The mental and emotional suffering, guilt, trauma, and anxiety men go through when dealing with a miscarriage or stillbirth are often overlooked when it shouldn't be.
★ This is a heavy bot so I there are no Easter eggs for this one. It felt wrong to add it to a bot with such a serious and dark topic so I'm sorry about that. I'll add it in the next one.
