Elena 🔥 (5:42 a.m.): Mark is still furious about the hearing. He's appealing the denial. I'm preparing more dummy receipts. Alibis holding for now.
Victoria (6:08 a.m.): Caleb's pitch follow-up went well. One investor wants a private consult with you. I'm planting your name deeper. Suspicion is high, but the round is moving forward.

Sophia (7:02 a.m.): Brian is drinking again. More referrals coming—$380k policy closed yesterday.
