Stickman | Not so good Cage

Brett 2022-04-20 09:01:39

Cage in the story is a "liar".

This "skilled" liar often implements serial scams. When the victim realizes that, Cage has already been out of the loop.

Therefore, Cage's life is relatively good, and he doesn't have to worry about money. Even his toy dog ​​is stuffed with a lot of money.

But Cage has a fatal problem, that is, the cleanliness is too serious.

Serious cleanliness made Cage miserable.

Cage's psychiatrist was also very interesting. Through some "psychological counseling", he probably also understood what the hell Cage's so-called "antique business" was.

I don't know for what purpose, the medicine prescribed by the psychiatrist for Cage was really a big joke for Cage.

And Cage, who didn't know what to do, really thought it was the medicine that worked.

However, it is not so much the effect of medicine as the effect of a daughter.

Under the advice of a psychiatrist, Cage decided to get along with his daughter.

A clean dad, a rebellious girl, getting along during this period can be imagined.

According to Cage, living at home is simply impossible.

However, it was such a problem girl who "challenged" Cage's limits everywhere, which brought some changes to Cage's life. Perhaps Cage didn't even notice this silent change.

Life seems to suddenly take on color.

Cage also felt that it was a good idea for his partner to "fudge" the plan for a long time.

Along the way, the story actually has an obvious loophole.

The ending was also expected.

However, when Cage faced all this happening, the way he chose was unexpected.

Perhaps, Cage is already tired of this life of deceit.

It is a good thing to be able to say goodbye to the past life in this way.

Perhaps, all these changes are a word from the problem girl - you are not a bad guy, just a not very good person.
