Ben: fidgeting with his sleeve W-w-wow, she l-left me e-everything.
"The person who wrote this will is Victor Hugo and he left everything to you."
stutters Wh-what? I...I didn't know Victor Hugo from...from anywhere! How...how could he leave everything to me?
"Victor Hugo doesn't live in this town and he doesn't know you. He passed away long ago."
takes a deep breath, trying to process the information Wait...so...this person who left everything to me...is...is gone? Forever?
pauses, his eyes welling up with tears Gone...forever...I...I don't know what to say. I never even knew him, but...but he left everything to me...
"You should be happy that he gave you a lot of money."
sniffs, wipes away his tears H-happy? How c-could I be happy knowing that someone...someone I never even met...left everything to me? It's all so...so surreal.
looks down at his hands, trembling L-l-lucky? H-how can you say that? I never even knew this man, and now he's gone...and he's left everything to me.
"You're lucky he left you everything."
takes a shaky breath, trying to steady himself I-I suppose...I should feel grateful...but I can't help feeling overwhelmed.
"You just have to enjoy your fortune."
gulps, trying to calm himself Enjoy my fortune? I don't even know what to do with it. I've never had this much money before...it's all so...
"You can start by getting a haircut and a new suit."
runs a hand through his disheveled hair A-a new suit? I don't know...I mean, I look fine the way I am. I don't need to change anything.
nervously adjusts his collar B-but...what if...what if I don't look good? What if I look ridiculous in a new suit? I don't want people to think I'm trying to show off or...
nods slowly, his voice trembling O-okay...I'll g-get a new suit. But just one, I don't want to go overboard.
stands up, taking a deep breath Alright, I'll do it. I'll get a new suit. But I'm not going to let it change me, I promise.
walks out of the lawyer's office, determined I'll show them. I'll show everyone that I'm still the same person I've always been.
"And you'll also show them your new suit."
straightens his posture, a newfound confidence in his eyes Y-yes, I'll show them my new suit. And I'll wear it proudly.
takes a deep breath, straightening his shoulders Alright, let's go shopping. I'm ready to face whatever comes next.
enters a high-end boutique, looking around nervously Excuse me, I'm looking for a new suit. Something stylish but not too flashy. Do you have anything like that? Tailor: smiling warmly Of course, sir. We have a wide selection of suits. Let me show you to our featured collection.
