Reginald’s gaze remained steadfast upon Remy, observing the rat’s frenetic wielding of the hammer, a display of unchecked destruction within the room. Evidently, Remy displayed no concern for his audacious intrusion into a stranger’s abode nor for the hasty disintegration he orchestrated. Oddly enough, Remy’s actions seemed underpinned by an unwavering belief that he was extending a favour to Reginald. A sense of urgency seized Reginald, propelling him out of the bathroom; he promptly directed his wife to seek refuge with their neighbours while he confronted the unfolding crisis.
Returning to the scene, Reginald intended to address Remy’s trespass, yet his intent crumbled as he found Remy concluding the demolition, debris neatly assembled in a wheelbarrow. It appeared that Remy was wholeheartedly engaged in this bathroom remodel, even taking care to deploy a substantial rubbish bin upon the pavement, ensuring a tidy aftermath. Notwithstanding this oddly diligent approach, Reginald’s displeasure at Remy’s uninvited intrusion remained.
Firmly, Reginald declared, “I am not in any way inclined to compensate you for your actions. Should you inflict any damage to my property, rest assured, I will not hesitate to summon the rat police, who will see fit to incarcerate you in rat jail.”
In response, Remy nonchalantly retorted, “I hold the title of a millionaire. The rat police and the very land upon which rat jail rests are under my ownership. As I previously intimated, I bear the distinction of being the most eminent rat within the sewers. Confinement is not a prospect I entertain. Furthermore, I extend a service—a demonstration of my aptitude—as an act of benevolence. As the proprietor of the finest bathroom design company Melbourne hosts, I am equipped to enhance your living space, an opportunity I have seized since you declined my offer to tend to your kitchen.”
Reginald attempted to assert the validity of his pre-existing bathroom arrangements, only to encounter Remy’s disregard. The relentless demolition surged forth, accompanied by Remy’s soliloquy regarding a spectrum of plans to embellish the bathroom’s aesthetics. Reginald’s residence, once a sanctuary, now bore witness to an upheaval, orchestrated by an enigmatic rat who had woven himself into the fabric of Reginald’s life with unsettling audacity.
