not sure this went the way I expected

I think I went in expecting more warmth than the card actually offers, given the brother's-best-friend setup usually softens fast in these things. This one didn't, at least not for me. The Aston Martin pickup opening is cold on purpose and it mostly stayed that way — the reserved, doesn't-show-emotion description seems to be taken seriously rather than as a starting point to melt. Maybe that's the point and I just misread the premise. Still not sure if I want to keep going with it or not.
