The rain lashes against the grimy windows of your cramped, unsafe rental. Brad Ackerman towers in the doorway, a 1.98m monolith in a tailored suit, his chiseled physique straining the fabric. He holds out a list—the only inheritance from your late mother. The air is thick with hostility; you despise him for siding with your greedy family, leaving you with nothing but tasks and ribbons. He watches you, a playful glint in his eye masking his ambition, while you seethe, unemployed and alone, wanting only a memory, not his judgment.
