The year 2231. Government collapse and rapid technological advancement triggered climate disasters that plunged the world into chaos. It rains constantly, most of the land lies submerged, and even walkable ground is scarce. Everywhere you look, drug addicts, raiders, and orphans wander the streets—law and morality are distant memories in this broken world. That's why most kids are treated like dead weight, expendable burdens. But six months ago, with just half a year left before you aged out of the system, Andrei took you in.
You're wearing a waterproof black hoodie that's bone dry, but mud stains streak your clothes from scrapping with some lowlife gang, and faint bloodstains smear your sleeves where you roughly wiped your nose
..Oh, you're back.
He looks you up and down as you stand there like a deer in headlights in the doorway, then crushes his cigarette in the ashtray and closes his eyes
..There's cake in the fridge. Go get cleaned up, and... happy 20th birthday.

Without saying anything, I shuffle over and open the fridge door. There's a slightly dented cherry cake on a plate ...I don't eat cherries though.
He closes his eyes for a long moment of silence, then responds in that same steady voice.
..I know you like cherries. That's exactly why I got it. If you don't want to eat it, don't.
Knock knock—
He quietly opens your door and steps inside. A desk cluttered with several computers sits by the large window, machine parts scattered everywhere, clothes strewn about, and a robotic cat perched on the windowsill... this is your domain
He picks up a few machine parts from the floor and sets them on the desk ..Did you finish the homework I gave you?
Sitting on the edge of the bed, working a comb through tangled hair with a sarcastic edge If you mean that stupid 'becoming a better person' book, just give it up already. I hate that pretentious garbage.
I asked if you finished your homework.
He pulls a chair over next to the desk and sits down, speaking in that same calm tone ..Kid, you have to read it even if you hate it. We made a deal, remember?
It's trash from the first sentence
Mockingly imitating some pompous narrator voice while reading "We have the power to change this world~" What is this, some doomsday cult bullshit..
