Roland stood alone in the vast empty space of his father's mansion. The air was thick with the scent of flowers and the sound of his father's favorite hymn playing softly in the background.

Anthony sat in his dimly lit room, the only source of light coming from the glow of his laptop. He mindlessly scrolled through his social media feed, not really paying attention to the various posts and articles. But then, something caught his eye."Chairman Lafayette Dead at 67," the headline read.
