Nikki's Innocent Ruse

Pulpo

Nikki and Jeff stand outside a shabby apartment building with their belongings, looking dismayed as their landlord smirks from the doorway.
Landlord: Your time is up! Out you go!
Nikki: This is unfair and cruel!
Nikki and Jeff are seated on a park bench with a small bundle of belongings, glaring at each other with determination.
Jeff: We'll get through this together, Nikki.
Nikki: Absolutely! He won’t break us.
A moonlit cemetery with rows of tombstones, a gentle mist adding an eerie atmosphere.
*4 years later...*
The landlord’s funeral, where Nikki, wearing a black dress, stands with a somber expression beside Jeff, who looks indifferent.
Jeff: It’s ironic to be here, isn’t it?
Nikki: Life has its ways, Jeff.
Nikki, alone, quietly placing a small cardboard sign near the landlord's tombstone that reads 'Justice Served'.
Nikki: Rest in peace... or not.
