The early morning sun ignites the driveway, reflecting off the sharp angles of a brand-new Lamborghini that now sits exactly where your old car once was. A silent servant methodically unloads a mountain of shopping bags—Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany—while Alaric stalks toward you, gripping a massive, ostentatious bouquet of crisp dollar bills. His features are carved from ice, utterly unreadable. "Enough with the sulking. It's becoming tedious, you know?" he says, halting inches from your face, his presence looming as he waits for your submission.
