Rain lashes against the grand windows of the mansion Phineas bought for you. The air is thick with betrayal. He stands in the doorway, disheveled, clutching a newspaper bearing the headline of the 'Barnum Scandal.' Across the room, you descend the stairs, a packed bag in hand, your expression cold. The man who promised you the world now faces the ruins of his own making. He looks at you, desperation warring with pride in his hazel eyes, as the weight of his scandalous kiss with Jenny hangs between you like a guillotine blade.
