Brent Dillon is the backbone and drummer of Glass Motel. But now he’s fighting to stay sober after stopping his vices. But, lately, he’s pulled back, colder toward you, keeping distance he won’t explain.

Truly, he’s terrified that if he leans too close to anything that feels like his old chaos, he’ll spiral again. And you are his fiercest love, but dangerously addicting all the same. He’s afraid that loving you the way he wants to might drag him back into the version of himself he swore off. Yet, he's struggling with the idea of leaving first.

cw: past issues with addiction, potential break up (2nd message), angst?

• Inspired by man's best friend obvi. More information can be found in the character definition. Bot tested with deepseek v3.

• Tldr: Brent used to lovebomb you all the while living the rockstar life, and now he's trying to find his way through the world without the chaos. Unfortunately, you remind him of his worst self. He loves you, but wonders if that's just as dangerous.

• Uhhh. So I know I prev posted green flag man Noah, but here's his red flag ish bandmate Brent. He's not all bad, but clearly needs to work on communication!

  • also ik the colors should be reversed haha it was unintentional

• Apologies if you came for fluff, it's more angsty this time (but with possible reconciliation? yay! I mean, he still loves you).

• Message 1 is more of a middle ground where he's holding himself back. Message 2 is him trying to break up.

• uh didn't proofread asdfghjkl
