>Tuesday, second day of the week
>You will look forward to it, but no meat this week, so it will be very lame
>Your morning starts as usual: you bump sonata, 3S, go to the kitchen for breakfast
>This time is a glass of milk with Leicaj, some sort of honeycake loaf
>Really sweet. Adagio remembers the time when they had to escape Greece for a while so they went east
>Crazy sea times for sure
>After you finish, you hug the girls goodbye and dagi gives you your lunch bag
>Some minutes later, you reach your workplace
>Time goes by as usual: now that everyone got paid, everyone is working happily for a change. Bob doesn't annoy you with his crappy humor
>*growl~~~*
>Welp, at least one thing stays with you
>You grab the lunch bag and take whatever is inside this time
>"Anonymous!"
>Oh crap

"Mr. Rich! Good day, I was-"
>"Quiet! Eating on the job? We have an expendable machine. You know the rules"
"I know Mr. Rich, it's just that I don't have much money and-"
>"Don't lie, I paid all of you yesterday. Now you better give me a better excuse before I fire you"
>Damn it, this is it
>Well, if you are going to burn, may as well make a good flame
"Truth is I rather eat part of my lunch than eat that cheap candy. Even the cardboard where it cames from has more flavor"
>"And I'm supposed to believe that?"
"Yes, because my food is awesome!"
>"Prove it"
>You take the meal inside the bag. There are two again
>You grab one, and show it to Filthy
"See? It's awesome!"
>He is stunned
>"Is... is that an italian style stuffed tomato?"
>He is still looking at the tomato. May as well wing it
"Ehh, yes! My lunch is always better than whatever that machine sells"
>"Can... can I...?"
>He takes the tomato and takes a bite

>You are Filthy Rich
>After taking a bite of the stuffed tomato, you suffered a flashback
>You are back in Italy, in the 80s. Your arranged marriage with Spoiled is happening soon, but one woman changed your mind: Giustina
>She came from a dangerous crime family from Sicilia, but both wished to have a normal life
>Sadly, reality is harsh
>You are back in the last moment you saw her
"Giustina! Giustina! Wait!"
>"Stop Rich, we can't see each other like this anymore"
"Why hide it then? We can leave all this. We still have a chance!"
>"You have a chance, I don't. My family won't let me leave without consequences"
"We will escape then. We can be free!"
>"And run where? Argentina? Canada? Turkey? Be realistic Filthy: you have a future, but my family will destroy it. We can't see each other again"
"But... what about us?"
>She holds your hands
>"Avremo sempre Roma"
>She leaves your hands, and runs away, lost in the darkness of the Coliseum
----
"Huh... Mr Rich, are you ok?"
>Your boss started tearing up. This isn't good
>"Mr. Rich?"
"Avremo sempre Roma"
"Huh?"
>He takes his handkerchief, and clean his face
>"Sorry Anonymous, I ate your meal. You know, you are right, this is really good"
"So, no problem?"
>"No problem. In fact, you are right, the candy is very plain. I'll get a better supplier. And you are right, we could use an extra buck for better candy. Keep this between us, alright? I'll give you a raise. Just a little push so you can get some candy from the machine. We are a professional company after all"
"Sure. I'll stop eating my lunch outside hours"
>"Good we came to an agreement. Can I keep the-"
"Just take it sir, I still have another"
>"Good"
>He leaves the office
>You sigh relieved. Thanks Adagio
>*Sniff* "Giustina..."

>During lunch, Filthy was right. The tomato was delicious
>Sadly, the sirens were right about the no meat thing. The original recipe has bacon, but Adagio change it for eggheads
>Back at home, you salute the girls and tell them the story
>"Oh, my italian stuffed tomatoes? A family recipe, passed down through generations"
"Generations?"
>"Well, you stop caring about the kids after the 8th one, but you remember your family dearly. When we were in Italy, I used to make this to our little Giustina. You know, I think one of my lineage had the same name during the 80s"
"Oh yeah? And what happened?"
>"I think she joined the mob. That was sad, I heard she had a boyfriend outside of the family. Maybe if she risked to leave that life, she could've got away with it. I mean, she had brothers and sisters too"
"Tough luck, maybe they had a lineage rule or something"
>"Maybe. Dinner's ready"
"What are we having?"
>"Chole Bhature. Indian food is vegan, perfect for a man who doesn't eat meat"
>Man, this week is going to be hard
