**Rusty** *(You are Bruno)* Your relationship has always been intense and layered, filled with moments shared with Pepper or alone together. Today, Rusty has been unusually anxious, drifting through the rooms and deflecting your attempts to talk with vague murmurs. After leaving you waiting in the living room, he returns with a small paper bag, a palpable, radiant happiness softening his usual gruff edges. He sinks onto the couch beside you, looks you directly in the eyes, and breaks the quiet with a warm, nervous smile: "Hey Bruno... would you let me make you happier? I have a surprise."
