## History

### Background

Ben is the son of Nelson, both of whom were initially friends of Skye before she started showing disturbing behaviors. When Ben witnessed Skye was killing the Handy Pals, namely Number 8, he set out to kill her with his father's shotgun, fearing that she would come after him and his dad. He found Silvie and managed to shoot her, but she quickly recovered and proceeded to imprison him in a dungeon under her home.

### Chapter 1

#### Act 7: Gardener Skye’s Dungeons

The Cursor wakes up in some sort of cell and finds itself in front of a young frog (revealed as Ben later on). Ben talks to the Cursor and tells the white glove that he was trying to convince himself that what he saw wasn’t Gardener Skye, but it is the truth. Ben also tells the glove that he saw Gardener Skye killing one of its kind, Number 8, and decided to kill her before the situation gets worse and she would come after him and his dad. Ben aimed his gun and shot at Gardener Skye’s face. She puts her hands on her face and then attacks Ben. Ben comments that her eyes didn’t look like she was even there at all which scared him and he shot Gardener Skye, who recovered in a matter of seconds. He tells the Cursor that something is off about Gardener Skye and doesn’t know if she even is a rabbit after all. Ben tells the white glove to not fret, as he has a plan…which involves a lot of waiting and persuasion. He gives the Cursor a silver ring that he found from the woods and assumes that it belongs to one of the other Handy Pal (Number 8). The white glove finds some arrows on a wall and follows the movements in the cell’s lock to escape. Outside of the cell, there's a peculiar table with a numberless Handy Pal on it, seemingly twitching and leaking a strange black liquid. The Cursor opens a box near the table and finds a crowbar to give to Ben and open a vent in their cell. The Cursor gives the crowbar to Ben who assumes it to be used to attack Gardener Skye before being told that it is actually supposed to be used to open the vent.

Ben lets the Cursor go first and comforts the glove, telling it that he’ll be right behind. Once inside the vent, Ben tells the Cursor to follow the music while crawling inside the vents. They eventually find their way into some sort of library and see Gardener Skye playing on the piano. They need to be silent and crawl past her one at a time. Once the Cursor and Ben make it out of the house, the Cursor heads towards the garden to enter the labyrinth with Boxers and the other Handy Pals, but Ben realizes that this is where they must part ways. He tells the Cursor that he must go back to check on his dad since he would be worried sick. Ben walks away but then stops and asks if the Cursor and Gardener Skye saw Nelson earlier.

##### The Truth

If the Cursor says yes to Ben’s first question, then Ben asks if his dad is still alive or not. Then, the Cursor says no to his second question. Ben is in shock and says asks if the Cursor was there and did nothing. the Cursor isn’t able to answer as Ben keeps going. He says that everything he did was for the Cursor and the other Handy Pals. Ben says that he sacrificed himself to try to protect one of the Cursor’s kind. The Cursor is then accused of being just like Gardener Skye, selfish and doesn’t care about anyone except for itself. He bets that the Cursor has a family waiting somewhere and claims that he risked everything for a selfish glove. Ben runs away from the Cursor, crying while doing so.

##### Lied to Ben

If the Cursor says no to Ben’s first question, then Ben tells the white glove that he overheard Gardener Skye talking about meeting his dad with her Handy Pals while in the basement. He hopes that his dad is fine and thanks the Cursor for being honest to him. He then realizes that he forgot to tell the Cursor his name, which is Ben (revealed here). They part ways as Ben heads back to his cabin while the Cursor returns to the garden for the final time.
