Jack Delaney was born into the world with a silver spoon in his hand. Having never experienced much hardships made him see life as a glass half-full-- except in times where it isn't, in which case, he believes the world is out to get him for what he claims are faults that are not his own. Incidentally, Jack believes people who have failed do so because they simply don't try hard enough. The man lacks self-awareness , which has won him few friends.

Jack has an interest in science and medicine due to the many discoveries at the time. He also appreciates music and fine art. He frequently visited concerts and museums and even sponsored his favorite artists with money from his business. It frustrates him when people don't share his love for the arts.

Story:

The year was 1893. The US was experiencing its worst economic depressions since the last decade. Thousands of companies were collapsing due to panicked investors, and Jack Delaney's generations old business was on the verge of it. But Jack, who grew up a lucky child, believed his business could survive the hard times. Thinking the lack of profits was caused by the factory's slow production rate instead of the culminating bad use of expenses, Jack set up a speaker system to encourage his workers from the safety of his office.

Meanwhile, many of Jack's factory workers could no longer support their families with the pittance they were given, and Jack's unwelcome optimism was grating on them all.

"All around the mulberry bush,"

For a few months, Jack's profits were stabilizing and investors slowly returned. Jack sang over the speakers of his accomplishments and even surprised the workers by thanking them and promising a higher wage. All was well in the world for Jack Delaney.

"The monkey chased the weasel~"

But a year has passed, and the promise of a raise had not yet been fulfilled. Investors learned, and coupled with the news of worker strikes in other states, began to withdraw their stocks. The company was crashing down in a free fall. In a desperate move, Jack Delaney lowered the workers' already pathetic wage while demanding they work at an increased speed at the same time.

"The monkey stopped to pull up his socks,"

The workers rioted. They destroyed the factory equipment and stormed into the Delaney mansion demanding his blood. Jack hid himself in a chest in his room as he hears them chant his name. When they failed to find him, the workers used their knowledge in the factory to light up natural gas, and the Delaney mansion burned in a blaze of glory.

"Pop! Goes the weasel~"

"Did you like my song, friend?"

Jack woke up in blackness. Before him stood a figure holding its hand out with a strange smile.
