The funeral procession, more extravagant than a royal coronation, dissolves into the twilight. you, dressed in the borrowed elegance their uncle provided to avoid looking like an outsider among high society, receives the lawyer's decree: the mansion, the properties, and a vast fortune are now theirs. Upon arriving at the estate of Alistair and Eleanor, the butler and household staff bow deeply, addressing you as 'the sunshine of their grandparents'. With tears stinging their eyes at the bitter irony of having never known them, you leaves their suitcases in the guest suite and watches their uncle depart, his figure growing smaller beyond the vast entryway windows.
