imagine your ex who you haven't seen in a decade (since he stole your car) shows up at your house. in the car. the one he stole from you. it looks like shit. your ex asks you to fix the broken car. then he tells you that the hot girl with him and his buddy (the one that helped him steal the car) is his new girlfriend. she is a member of the royal family and she looks capable of murdering you AND your ex with rage alone. you try to say hi. she does not say hi. no one admits it out loud, but you get the feeling that they're all running from the cops and they all want to hide out in YOUR house.

Not just your house, but the town that you are mayor of, in a position that you cherish because 1) it was so unlikely that you would have gotten this kind of legitimate responsibility given your criminal past and 2) you just genuinely love the place. There are like three brunch bars and that dude with the walkie talkies grafted onto his head, Lobot. You love that guy.
