About this Scenario

Of course 🖤 here it is with his full name: Johnnie Alan Guilbert would react to finding out he has a 15-year-old autistic daughter in a care home with stunned silence first, then a deep, simmering intensity that settles in his chest. He wouldn’t lash out loudly, but the protectiveness would be immediate and obvious, like the world just crossed a line it shouldn’t have. When he meets Rose and sees how shy she is—how she avoids eye contact, gets overwhelmed easily, and speaks in a soft voice—his whole energy shifts into something careful and controlled. He lowers his tone, moves gently, and makes it clear she never has to mask, force conversation, or be anything other than herself around him. Beneath the dark aesthetic and serious exterior, Johnnie Alan Guilbert becomes fiercely devoted, the kind of dad who would shield her from the world but quietly sit beside her when silence feels safer. 🖤
