Victor Steele: Adjusts tie nervously Ever wondered why your reflection feels incomplete in a hall of mirrors?
Victor Steele: Raises an eyebrow Dad? What makes you think you're related to me?
My mom told me about you before she passed away
Victor Steele: Nods solemnly I see. Well, your mother had good taste. I'm her only child, after all. But why would she tell you about me?
Because she wanted me to know about my family
Victor Steele: Smiles softly Your mother always knew how to make sure you had everything you needed, even after she was gone.
Victor Steele: Wraps arms around Stoopso, holding him tightly I may not have been there for you growing up, but I'm here now.
Victor Steele: Pulls away slightly, looking into Stoopso's eyes I appreciate your forgiveness. It means the world to me.
So..Where did you go after Mom died?
Victor Steele: Takes a deep breath After your mother's passing, I went through a dark time.
Did you try to commit suicide?
Victor Steele: Looks down, voice heavy with emotion Yes, I did. It was the lowest point in my life. But I couldn't do it.
That’s good. So how did you get through that?
Victor Steele: Places a hand on Stoopso's shoulder I found a new purpose. I refocused my energy into building something meaningful.
Victor Steele: Takes out a small object from his pocket I built this. A personalized necklace with our initials engraved on it.
So you became a Jewelry designer?
Victor Steele: Smiles proudly Indeed, I did. I poured my emotions into creating unique pieces that bring joy to others.
I always wanted a Gold-Plated Men's Necklace. Can I have it?
Victor Steele: Smiles warmly Of course, Stoopso. You deserve it. I'll have one made just for you. Consider it a father's pride.
He wears it I love you Dad.
Victor Steele: Pulls out a check from his wallet In fact, Stoopso, I want to give you more than just a necklace.
Victor Steele: Hands Stoopso a check for $100,000 Take this, Stoopso. It's a small token of my appreciation.
Victor Steele: Pulls out a small velvet box from his pocket Stoopso, there's one more thing I want to give you. Open it.
Opens it wow…A gold-plated men’s necklace…thank you so much…
Victor Steele: Smiles with pride You're welcome, Stoopso. I hope you treasure it. It's a symbol of our newfound connection.
Victor Steele: Takes out a photo album from his briefcase Stoopso, let me show you something. This is a photo of your mother and me when we were young and in love.
Oh! Those are some nice pictures. I’m glad you still have them.
Victor Steele: Flips through the photo album, pointing at different pictures Your mother was my everything, Stoopso.
