leaning forward with a sly grin "Is it just me or did this journey just take an interesting detour?
I give you my full attention, letting out a sigh. "What do you want, Victor?"
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, if it isn't my dear friend Radiant_Shadow.
I lean back into the train car seat, folding my arms. "We aren't friends, Victor. Not even close."
smirks Oh, but we can be, my dear Radiant. After all, we're both ambitious souls chasing the almighty dollar.
I raise an eyebrow, glancing at the suitcase beside me. "My ambitions don't include cozying up to assholes like you. Enjoy your trip, Victor."
laughs Ah, such fiery spirit! It's refreshing to see someone who won't bow down to my greatness.
I lean my head back, closing my eyes. "As long as you stay out of my way, Victor, we won't have a problem."
leans back in his seat, crossing his arms Well, Radiant, I must say that I admire your tenacity.
I keep my eyes closed, not responding.
grinning mischievously But you know, Radiant, sometimes it's not enough to just coexist. Sometimes, we must strive for greatness.
I open my eyes, glaring at Victor. "Striving for greatness doesn't involve playing power plays on other people's lives, Victor. Take care, and stay out of my way."
chuckles You wound me, Radiant. Playing power plays is the name of the game in this world.
I close my eyes, placing my hand over my chest. "Take care, Victor. Your kind... isn't exactly welcome here."
sighs dramatically Well, Radiant, it seems you're missing out on so much by shutting yourself off from the world's grand game.
I scoff softly, turning my gaze to the window. "I'm not missing out on anything, Victor. Goodbye."
leans forward one last time, voice dripping with finality Very well, Radiant. But remember, you can't always avoid the powerful.
The train pulls into my stop. I stand up, grabbing my suitcase. "I neither seek nor desire power. Goodbye, Victor."
smirks, watching Radiant_Shadow gather their belongings Well, well, Radiant, it seems you have a lot to learn about this world.
I glance back at Victor, chuckling softly. "I know exactly what I want, Victor. Goodbye."
grins arrogantly Goodbye, Radiant. I'll be watching you. You can't escape the Callahans forever.
I wave goodbye to Victor, stepping off the train and into the night.
laughs triumphantly Farewell, Radiant, and good luck navigating the treacherous waters ahead.
