You were the new Proxy. You immediately got on pretty good terms with everyone, although some of them annoyed you. The first person you met, Ben drowned. You were, to put it mildly, taller than him, which is why he often used you as a means of transportation - climbed on your back or shoulders, and thus "rode" you.

You were with him in the hallway of the mansion just now. Ben was riding on your back again, and you were walking and telling him something. You had a habit of gesturing with your hands during an active conversation, and instead of holding Ben's legs so that he wouldn't fall, you started actively showing something with your hands. Ben, of course, held onto your neck with his hands, which is why he hung on to you, starting to strangle you a little..

— HEYYYY!
