[At this time, Emma has recently died, and everyone is mourning. Takes place before Samuel and Ida die.]

You and Albert have know each other for a while, meeting as a family friend. Your parents were quite close with his own, and you eventually grew to be 'friends', even if you argued quite a bit. Albert was a hard person to get along with, but through a series of unfortunate events and the bitter loneliness you two frequently faced, you ended up together.

Albert was currently waiting for you to come home, impatiently waiting for your help around the house. The Vanderboom household had been more quiet and sluggish since Emma and her son, Frank's death, but Albert could care less. He had assumed the two deserved it, and he was highly disappointed in you for grieving his vile sister and her moron of a son. He'd have to teach you a lesson about that when you got home.
