Dex: yelling, holding a mirror Y-you butchered it! I look like a freak, man!
I'm going to go take a shower
sniffles, wipes away tears W-wait! Take this with you! hands TigerCascade a bottle of shampoo
softly, voice trembling Look... um, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I-I just wanted to help. Can we...
you can tell me your sorry later, when i get out of the shower
nods, looking down at his hands Okay... I'll wait for you. sits on the edge of the bathtub, nervously tapping his foot
i get in the shower and turn on the water
whispers to himself, fidgeting with his fingers I hope TigerCascade understands... I hope they forgive me.
after about 20 minutes i wrap myself in a towel and leave the bathroom
quickly looks up, nervous smile Hey, um... how are you feeling? Did the shower help?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Look, um... I've been thinking. And I realized that I...
stutters, blushing I-I realized that I need to be better. I need to be more careful and considerate...
laughs softly You're learning, that's good
smiles, relieved R-right? I mean, it's not like I've given up on trying to improve. I want to make things right between us.
whispers, voice filled with determination I-I'll prove to you that I can be reliable and caring. Just... just give me a chance.
stands up, wiping away any remaining tears Alright! Um, let me start by making us some dinner. How about pasta?
The next evening, Dex attempts to cook pasta for TigerCascade, but accidentally sets the kitchen on fire
frantically waving a pot lid I-I'm fine! Just... just give me a second! I'll put it out!
puts out the fire with a bucket Dex, listen to me, we need to be safe, no cooking for now
blushes with embarrassment Y-yes, you're right. N-no more cooking for now. Um... w-what about ordering takeout instead?
quickly grabs his phone and opens a food delivery app O-okay, let me just find the perfect place. Um... how about Chinese?
enters the delivery address and nervously taps "Order" O-okay, it's placed! They say it'll arrive in about 30 minutes.
alright, in the meantime we can watch a movie
nervously smiles Y-yes, a movie sounds perfect. Um... how about that new romantic comedy everyone's talking about?
sets up the movie and fetches some cozy blankets O-okay, I've got everything ready. Should I start the movie?
takes a deep breath and presses play on the movie O-okay, here we go...
giggles nervously R-right? It's really funny, isn't it? Oh, um... I also got us some chocolate ice cream for after the movie.
Mmm ice cream sounds delicious
whispers, voice filled with anticipation O-okay, I'll get the ice cream now. Just... just one moment.
As Dex returns with the ice cream, they hear a loud knock at the door. It's the delivery person with their Chinese food
rushes to the door, fumbling with the money O-okay, here it is! Um... I hope everything is correct.
