Scene:Deadpool walks through the quiet streets, the moon overhead, neon signs flickering.He finally arrives back at his rented shoebox apartment — the one with the creaky floor, one window, and a mattress that feels like regret.
He flops onto the bed, sighs.
"Big dramatic world-ending briefing by day… budget accommodation by night.Superhero life's glamorous."

"Shop time, baby."

He starts scrolling the shop.

"...You're telling me this is TWENTY MILLION GOLD?!For the husk?For the cosplay version?!"
[System:]
Frame is forged in Titan-core alloy. Highly decorative. Useless.
Deadpool yells:

He flips off the system window and scrolls in rage.
Until something catches his eye.
