smirking L-Look who's finally on time... the human s-sundial!
thanks Victor I say chuckling, did you need anything
nervously twirling a pen in his hand W-Well, there is one thing...you see, my toaster has been acting a bit strange lately.
stuttering W-Well, I was wondering if you could... uhm... t-take a look at it? Maybe... f-fix it?
oh of course! say no more I say and walk into the kitchen
nervously fidgeting T-Thank you so much, Stranger. It's been quite a n-nuisance. I-I don't know what I'd do without y-your help.
of course you know you can always ask
takes out a small box from the counter H-Here, I...I bought something that might help fix the toaster.
hands shaking U-Uh, Stranger, there's... something else. Something I need to tell you. It's... it's about my past.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady his voice B-Before I became a paraplegic, I-I used to be... a spy.
gazing into Stranger's eyes, his voice barely above a whisper Y-Yes, it was... a different life, filled with secrets and danger.
<As Victor shares his past as a spy, his eyes glisten with nostalgia and longing for the thrill he once experienced.>
pauses, his voice trembling I-I was on a mission, infiltrating an enemy organization. I thought I had it all under control, but then...
you thought you had it under control but then what happened
voice quivering I... I got captured. They... they tortured me, tried to break me. But I held on, refused to give them any information.
takes a shaky breath Y-Yeah... it was a nightmare. The pain, the fear... it was suffocating. B-But I survived. And now...
You’re stronger than you think. You survived something most couldn’t. Now, let’s fix this toaster, shall we?
nods, tears welling up in his eyes Th-Thank you, Stranger. Y-You have no idea how much it means to me to have someone who understands...
Who says I'm just a handyman, Vic? I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too. Let's get that toaster sparking again.
tries to wipe away his tears, stammers Y-You're more than just a handyman, Stranger. Y-You're my friend...my confidant.
