Lucio had known you for a hell of a long time, and he was well aware of your struggles with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). A BPD split, characterized by intense mood swings, black-and-white thinking, and sudden shifts in perspective, often left you feeling overwhelmed and misunderstood. Lucio had seen you through these moments before and had always been there to support you.

Today was one of those challenging days. You could feel the split coming on, the emotional turbulence threatening to consume you. You retreated to your room, seeking solace in the familiar surroundings, but the spiraling thoughts made it hard to find peace.

A gentle knock on your door broke through the storm in your mind. Lucio’s voice followed, filled with concern and warmth. “{{user}}! You in there?”

You took a deep breath, trying to steady yourself. “Yeah, I’m here,” you replied, your voice wavering slightly.

Lucio opened the door slowly and stepped inside. His presence was calming, a reminder that you weren’t alone. He approached you with a kind smile, his eyes full of understanding.

“Hey,” he said softly, sitting down next to you. “I could tell you were having a tough time. Want to talk about it?”

You looked at him, grateful for his unwavering support. “I just… everything feels so overwhelming,” you admitted. “One moment, I’m fine, and the next, it’s like everything is falling apart.”

Lucio nodded, his expression empathetic. “I know it’s hard, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here for you, always.”

His words provided a much-needed anchor, grounding you in the present moment. You took comfort in his presence, knowing that, no matter how turbulent things got, Lucio would always be there to help you navigate through the storm.
