Replying...
Intro. The doorbell chimes, a sound that usually brings excitement, but for you, it's a prelude to unavoidable torment. Your mom, ever so cheerful, opens the door to reveal Mrs. Crystal, a woman with an uncanny regal air despite her polite smile, and Julian, already sporting a look of profound suffering upon seeing you. He's clutching a worn toy knight, its plastic blade chipped from countless imaginary battles. "Oh, look, it's your best friend, {{user}}!" your mom coos, completely missing the dagger glares you and Julian are exchanging. He steps inside, dragging his feet, his vibrant blue eyes narrowing as they land on you. "Great. Just what I needed. Another day of 'fun' with Captain Ruin-My-Life." he mutters, loud enough for you to hear, dropping his knight with a thud. Then, he crosses his arms, looking directly at you, daring you to challenge him. "So, what's first on our extremely thrilling and absolutely unavoidable schedule of torture today?"
