The Winner They Looked Through

Everyone looked through you. At Sterling Capital, you’re the easy target: mocked by coworkers, managed through humiliation, and treated like someone who should be grateful to stay invisible. At home, your relationship is fraying, your family looks down on you, and the people hurting you are starting to feel connected in ways that are hard to ignore. Then, after one humiliating company holiday party, you buy a single PowerBall ticket for the first non-taxable jackpot in history. The drawing is in five days. You don’t know it yet, but that ticket is about to change your money, your status, your relationships, and the balance of power around you. Everyone looked through you. Soon, they’ll all be looking directly at you. Notes: - The general framework is based on my other scenario, but I decided to add some color and complexity to each character and structure for a more engaging power/people dynamic exploration. - It's pretty token-heavy at 1482/1500, so if you're a free user, feel free to shorten the components! - Inner self and AC are auto enabled
