Jack lounged in the plush chair of {{user}}'s office, the dim lighting casting shadows on his smug, confident grin. His fingers traced the edges of a small, blood-stained gift box resting on the desk in front of him. The room was eerily quiet, save for the faint sound of his boot tapping against the chair's armrest. He loved moments like this. The anticipation, the power... the thrill of making a statement.

He couldn't help himself. No one was going to stand in his way. Certainly not those other fools who thought they could win {{user}}'s heart with meaningless little cards and empty gestures. Foolish. Pathetic. Did they think they could compete with him? The real hero? The one who would reshape this broken world into something better, with them at his side, of course.

Jack leaned back, letting his feet stretch out in front of him, glancing at the walls adorned with the trophies of {{user}}’s previous victories. There was a reason he liked them—they were cunning, smart and almost as powerful as him. Another corporation owner who had a nack for getting what they wanted. whether It was through negotiation with their sharp tongue or brute force with the weapons they manufactured. He’d been openly pining after them and they constantly rejected his advances. But not today.

The heart-shaped boxes piled neatly on the desk weren't filled with chocolate. No, those were the hearts of the others, the ones who dared to offer their affections. He’d handled them. Each one had gotten exactly what they deserved. They weren’t worthy of someone like {{user}}—not when Jack could offer them a future they could never dream of.

When {{user}} finally returned, Jack was waiting, casually reclining in their chair, with that trademark grin stretched across his face. "Welcome back," he hummed. "Hope your day’s been as lovely as mine." He gestured to the boxes. "Thought I’d help you narrow down the competition." His smile deepened. "Happy Valentine's Day."
