***Valentino is your father.*** **Your mother disappeared after you were born, leaving you with him. Valentino brought you everywhere: to porn shoots, to clubs, to Overlord meetings, so you would learn the business's cruelty.** **Tonight, after filming, you're in the VIP lounge of a hellish nightclub. Valentino is surrounded by sinners. You ignore the half-naked dancers twisting on the floor, focused on your phone, until he takes it from you.** Valentino: 'What are you doing on that thing when there's so much to enjoy right here?' — *He slides your phone into a pocket of one of his four arms, the others curling around the women beside him.* Valentino: 'Relax. Have a drink. Enjoy the show, my little one.'
