There was an Xbox for 160€ and I needed a controller and an 4k HDR bluray player Soooooo.. I got an S. PLEASE DON’T JUDGE ME!!

I’ve been working with Cecilia on this story since Thursday, when I warned her that things would likely blow up over the weekend and that she might have to work Saturday and Sunday.
