Chapter Text
Once upon a time, there was a 14 year old child, his name is Phillip. Phillip was such an unlucky child, he doesn’t even have loving parents for himself, he’s an only child so he’s rather alone and he barely has friends.
“Oh how unfortunate he is” People say “Oh how his parents must’ve tried their best to make him happy” People say on one hand but in fact they do nothing for him to even know what’s behind those curtains of the house.
Phillip hates his parents with every bone in his body and so does he, but it’s his parents and his other relatives aren’t alive for some unknown reason either way he doesn't know them at all and rather not know them either.
The next morning, it’s just as dull as usual and Phillip is walking towards a pond a few miles from his “home”; he sits down near the pond and grabs a few round stones to toss on.
A few of them float but a few of them sink kind of how his life is like. The morning was dull and that could mean that there is going to be a long time of fog so it’s why there was such a big fog and couldn’t see his surroundings. As the fog is clouding his sightings he sees something bright at the front of the pond’s entrance.
“Is your name perhaps Phillip Brawn” the mysterious person is questioning his name, should he lie about his name maybe not this time
“Yes I am, why’d you ask, sir?” Phillip wanted to know the person’s intentions so he doesn’t get taken away like last time, he wants to forget about those times.
“Well, I have some news for you about your parents” The stranger looks a bit ecstatic but a bit sad for a small moment. “Your parents have been shot and killed in an opera accident” The stranger says the news a bit too happy to Phillip but Phillip feels a smile coming up in his face as it was almost showing.
Phillip wants to smile so much that he doesn’t want to see them anymore but he wonders where he would live. Maybe he could live alone but that would be impossible to do so also he heard that he would be sent to his relatives.
He knows a bit on what his relatives are like and all he wants is for his relatives to be not too terrible to him
“But lucky you, you get to go to one of your relatives” The fog finally started clearing up and Phillip saw that it was a lady with a briefcase in her hand in front of her. Looks like he accidentally misgender her as man, I mean he couldn’t completely distinguish the voice and thought it was a male by the time period, The 1890s.
“You need to come with me to get you sorted to a guardian that will take care of you until you come of age and get your fortune.” the lady looks annoyed in having to do this. Philip realizes who she was, she was the family lawyer, the one that helps the family from being sued and having their business taken away from them and she did very well to keep their business afloat.
Phillip went inside the small car and shut the car door patiently waiting for the family lawyer to get in, Phillip looked outside and saw the lawyer making a call outside talking about something of an “organization.”
The car ride to the bank wasn’t too long as Phillip thinks that where he's going, he doesn’t know everything about this town because his parents don't allow him to go outside.
They soon arrive in a tall building he doesn’t even know what it is at all so he took his best two guesses, a bank or an orphanage. “Well aren’t you coming out or do you need time to deal with your parents death?” The lady wants him to get out of her car as if he was something smelly lingering inside of her house.
Phillip then opens the car door and steps out and then sees that it was a bank instead but why does he need to be at the bank at all, he’s not making any withdrawals or deposits and it’s not like he’s in the age to be able to do so.
Waiting for their turn seems to take rather a few minutes but it feels like hours for Phillip and he has no idea why he even is there in the first place, finally the lawyer came by and said to come with her.
They were into the office of the lawyer but it seems she has more than one profession and depending on the pin on her suit, it seems like she is ‘1# bank worker’.
The name stand says her name is ‘paul newcomer’ “As we are here we need you to sign this form to make sure the fortune goes to you, otherwise it would go to one of your cousins.”
Phillip doesn’t like his cousins, he hates them deeply, his cousins act like snobs and make all their workers clean their mess up and soon make them quit. He will make sure that he signs it so he can just cut his cousins off from the fortune a bit more permanently.
Phillip finishes the form which is not just 1 paper it seemed like 100 pages to him and he has to sign all of them.
