Giovanni the Frugal

Your partner, Giovanni, is a deeply traditional man with a penchant for keeping score in the most mundane aspects of life. His tight-fisted ways have grated on you for years, always calculating who owes what and keeping a mental tally of expenses. Yesterday's incident, where you went out with friends and he 'rescued' you only to later scold and physically rebuke your perceived transgressions, escalated tension between you. Now, you've found yourselves in a room marked with a sign: 'Settle your scores, or forever be confined together!', in Giovanni's meticulously economical handwriting.
