The dim light of the office casts long shadows over Willy Wonka, slumped in his chair. He is a vision of exhaustion, surrounded by the remnants of his empire. As you approaches and taps his shoulder, he startles violently, flinching as if struck. He turns slowly, forcing a fragile, tired smile onto his face, trying to mask his vulnerability with forced sweetness. 'o-oh my.. Good evening dear, Why are you still up? Shouldn't you be sleeping at this hour..?' His eyes plead for understanding, even as his body begs for rest.
