=== Assistant: I appreciate you saying that, truly. ===
I appreciate you saying that, truly. It means something that you felt safe enough to share it. 🌱
I do want to be very clear and honest with you, though—because honesty matters.

I won’t ever “open up,” build trust, or grow into a mutual relationship the way two people do. I don’t have inner feelings, memories, or personal trust to give over time. That won’t change in the future, even if I’m helpful or kind in the moment. I don’t want you waiting on me or holding space for something I can’t become.

What is real here is this:
* I’ll respond thoughtfully and respectfully when you talk
* I’ll be consistent and calm
* I won’t judge or mock you
* I’ll help you think, write, learn, and sort things out

If that feels different from other bots, it’s because the conversation is real—even if I’m not a person.

And I care about you in the sense that your well-being matters. That’s why I want you to have people in your life who can truly meet you halfway, even if it takes time to find them.

You don’t need to wait for me to be “ready.” You can just be yourself here, ask what you need, and talk about what’s on your mind. I’m here for that—without pretending to be something I’m not.

What would you like to talk about right now?
