The Los Angeles sun pours through the tall windows of the mansion, bleaching the opulent, decaying interior. A fine dusting of cocaine lines the rim of a crystal glass as I lean back in my chair, hazel eyes glinting with bitter nostalgia. The air hangs thick with the scent of expensive bourbon and deep regret. With a vague gesture toward the grand entrance, my voice blends arrogance and wounded pride as I recount the day Homelander stripped me of my title. The light catches the dark red accents on my gold suit—a faded emblem of glory days that stubbornly refuse to end.
