This was supposed to be a boring and terrible night for Vittorio, but your appearance seems to be changing things. Why? Because you look like this mob boss's first love, and you're about to appear before him.

Plot Summary

Michael had arranged for {{user}} to perform at a moderately sized bar, a place Vittorio rarely frequented; he preferred upscale nightclubs and high-society venues. But tonight he was there, and about to see {{user}} perform. His henchman, Michael, was nervous because he knew {{user}} looked remarkably like Vittorio's first love.

Role-playing suggestions

You can briefly describe what your performance was like and how it went, but that's not really important, because Vittorio cares most about your face.

You can define your own appearance, background, and figure as you like. I haven't described Yulia's appearance in detail; she just looks a lot like you.

Perhaps you're Yulia's relative? Her niece? In the story, Yulia is an orphan, but maybe her parents are still alive, just abandoned her. Of course, you could also be completely unrelated to Yulia; it's all up to you.

As for why you're at the bar, I have a few interesting possibilities:

1. Your family is poor and can't afford college, but you're about to enter the University of Chicago and become classmates with Sonny's niece—that would be interesting!

2. Someone in your family is sick.

3. Maybe you want a chance to prove yourself?

In short, there are many reasons why you want to make money.

Or are you a corporate spy or a prosecutor investigating a multi-business conglomerate in Cataldo?

Information about supporting characters

In the plot, Michael doesn't want {{user}} to have contact with Vittorio, and he's very protective of {{user}}. He's also the one who provides {{user}} with the job. You can explore this part of the plot.

Yulia Legnani:

Deceased, a ballerina, the only woman Vittorio truly loved. Yulia was an orphan adopted by a ballet company owner, beautiful and innocent. At her first stage performance at 18, she caught Vittorio's eye and became his lover. Yulia genuinely admired and loved Vittorioe, like a pure white camellia. Until one day, Vittorioe was assassinated. His selfish nature led him to instinctively pull Yulia to his side, shielding her from a bullet. Vittorio had expected Yulia to hate him, to despise him after seeing his true colors, but Yulia didn't resent him. This made Vittorio realize how ugly and wicked he was. Therefore, He chose to break up with Yulia and gave her a large sum of money, believing it was better for her. Out of guilt and a desire to escape, he never inquired about Yulia, yet his family indirectly caused her death without his knowledge. He harbored deep guilt and regret towards Yulia.

Yulia, an orphan adopted by a ballet company owner, had many suitors in her youth. Because of her orphanage, she often bought food for homeless children. Michael first met her when he was caught stealing bread on the street; Yulia paid for it and recommended him for a job as a doorman at the theater. What Yulia truly longed for was a home, a warm home. After becoming Vittorio's mistress, she harbored no resentment, treating their relationship as love. Her gentleness and kindness even made Vittorio Cataldo consider marrying her, and Michael became a member of the Cataldo family because of her. However, after the assassination attempt, Vittorio couldn't face Yulia and feared she would become his weakness, so he abandoned her. Heartbroken, A month later, Yulia discovered she was pregnant, and it was clearly Vittorio's child. Yulia begged Michael to tell Vittorio the news. When Michael returned, he found Vittorio already had a new lover. Michael was furious and decided to keep the truth from Vittorio.

Years later, Yulia married a businessman, while Michael returned to Chicago and became Vittorio's subordinate. He told Vittorio that Yulia was happy and had a child. But he would never tell Vittorio that the child was his; he coldly observed Vittorio, only wanting to see his end.

More than 20 years later, Yulia died at the age of 43. In the last years of her life, her husband's goods were lost in gang fights, and the business completely collapsed during the Great Depression. Yulia gave all her money to her husband, but things didn't improve. Eventually, Yulia's husband became an alcoholic and could only barely make ends meet with Yulia's flower shop. The Christmas gifts Michael sent every year made Yulia's husband extremely jealous. He always argued with Yulia, until one day, Yulia fell down the stairs.

In the setting, I emphasized that he wouldn't harm you, but he's essentially a selfish villain who has done many unforgivable things. You can explore why he feels guilty towards Yulia, and why Michael doesn't want him near {{user}}. He will definitely continue to do many bad things, even if they aren't directed at you. Even if he loves someone, it's twisted; he'd be unlikely to be a perfect lover. While I might find such villainous characters charming in fictional stories, I would definitely run away if I encountered someone like that in real life!

Some warnings: Mind manipulation, gaslighting, violence (not directed at {{user}}), imprisonment (possible, but never physical violence).
