The Empathy Collector
The Plastic Prince—also known as the Golden Boy—is, as we described earlier, a creature with a remarkable lack of empathy. He has perfected the fine art of weaponizing other people’s empathy, even when that empathy is directed toward him.
It is exactly the type of character movies try to warn us about:
“Whatever you do in life, don’t become like this.”
Yet somehow, here he is, fully operational.
Mercy, Mistaken for Weakness
Despite knowing that he was being targeted by the Golden Boy, the individual chose not to engage with him.
Not out of fear.
Not out of weakness.
But simply because he knew that if he slapped him once on the cheek, the Golden Boy would stick to the nearest wall like a decorative poster. In other words, the restraint was an act of mercy.
Unfortunately, mercy is a complicated concept for plastic royalty.
The Golden Boy misread the silence. In his interpretation, if he attacked the individual a little and received no response, then clearly the logical next step was to attack louder.
A Friendly Warning
Eventually, the individual gave him a simple warning:
Do not place yourself in the same basket as the Dummy Warlock, or you will receive the same results.
A reasonable warning.
But persistence in foolishness, it turns out, is not an exclusive privilege of the Dummy Warlock. It runs deep within the Slaved Masonic Order. Later we will see how their so-called Plastic King demonstrates the same admirable dedication to bad decisions.
A Simple Situation… or So One Would Think
Let us begin with a simple situation.
One sunny day, while scrolling through social media, the individual encountered a drug dealer attempting to recruit him.
Being a responsible citizen, he decided to inform the police. By coincidence—or perhaps by the mysterious gravity of plastic kingdoms—the Golden Boy happened to be there. So the individual told him.
What happened next was… enlightening.
The Golden Boy Loses His Nerve
Instead of doing the normal police thing—such as, for example, arresting the drug dealer—the Golden Boy lost his nerve and began threatening the individual with jail.
Naturally, the individual was confused. For a moment he wondered if the Golden Boy had suddenly developed a severe case of squint.
How else could one misidentify the situation so dramatically?
So the individual tried again, explaining the matter slowly—almost like explaining something to a small child:
“See over there? That is a drug dealer. You take your gun… and you arrest him.”
Simple instructions. Very beginner level.
An Emotional Breakthrough
What followed was an emotional performance worthy of theater.
The Golden Boy began expressing long-suppressed feelings, as if his parents had never allowed him to express himself during childhood.
“You will never be my friend!”
“You punish me like a bad boy with half mustache!”
It was a touching moment of emotional honesty.
The individual, out of good manners and wisdom, gently tapped his shoulder—creating a safe emotional space for the Golden Boy to release these deeply stored feelings without judgment.
After all, personal growth is important.
Will the Golden Boy Become an Adult?
The real question remains:
After this emotional release, will the Golden Boy finally grow up and become an adult?
We will discover the answer in the next article.
