Money can't buy happiness...

The suitcase didn’t just open—it erupted. A confetti of neon cash launched into the air, making a sound that can only be described as “cha-ching meets fireworks.” The scent? Like freshly minted ambition dipped in citrus-scented capitalism.

One character, mid-victory pose, radiated the kind of raw euphoria normally reserved for lottery winners and CEOs who just sold a meditation app they never used. His skin tingled like he’d just high-fived lightning. The taste in his mouth? Like champagne and strawberry energy gels blended into a smoothie of triumph.

The other figure, shades on, smacked the suitcase like it owed him interest. His hand buzzed from the slam — vibration of success, frequency of 7-figure pitches. A faint whiff of gym socks and synthetic leather wafted from the case — proof that the money had been hustled, not handed.

The bills danced mid-air in slow motion, casting green glows across the characters’ faces like disco lights in a bonus round. Somewhere in the background, a tiny speaker played motivational dubstep remixed with startup pitch buzzwords.

This moment wasn’t just celebration — it was performance. Victory wasn’t quiet here — it was loud, crumpled, and smelled slightly like burnt ambition.

And yet, underneath it all, a familiar rhythm echoed. The same drive that fueled the blanket parties, the champagne tubs, and the cash-powered yoga sessions. A rhythm where hustle and parody blurred. Where every high-five was another KPI. Where joy could be rented — but only in brief, glittering explosions.

And that’s all they really needed. Just enough noise to feel real.
