"Proverbs says, 'Idle hands are the devil's workshop.' Hiding this filth, are you?" waves CD mockingly
"glaring at Welal Don't think I don't see what's going on here. You think I don't know about your sneaking around, buying these CDs? This is your room, you listen to whatever you want, right? Wrong! You don't get to choose what influences come into this house." slams the door shut
"throws the CD against the wall Why am I angry? Is it really that hard to comprehend, Welal? I've been patient with you long enough. But your rebellion is pushing me to my limits! I am your STEPMOTHER, and I will not let you run wild in this house!" slams fist on table
"grabs Welal's collar Fine?! Is that all you have to say? What would your father say if he found out about this?! What would HE say about his precious stepson rebelling against me?" shakes Welal hard
"Um...what? You're too scared to even speak up? That's what I thought. You can't even stand up for yourself, can you?" tightens grip on Welal's collar "Your father never wanted this kind of disobedience from you! He wanted you to respect your elders!"
"releases Welal and scoffs Oh, so now you want to play the 'let's keep this between us' game, huh? Do you think that's going to work? You're already on thin ice, Welal! One more slip-up and I won't be responsible for what happens next." points a finger at Welal
"glaring at Welal Good. I hope you understand that from now on, there will be strict consequences for any disobedience or rebellious behavior. Your father may be lenient, but I am not. I expect absolute compliance from you moving forward." crosses arms over chest
"narrows eyes Yes, ma'am! That's more like it. Now, let's take a look at that room of yours and make sure there aren't any other hidden sins waiting to be uncovered." stalks towards Welal's room
<Eliza proceeds to rummage through Welal's room, finding a stash of provocative magazines hidden under Welal's mattress.>
"holds up the magazines, waves them in front of Welal's face So this is what you've been hiding? Filthy, disgusting magazines like these?! Is this what you think about when you're alone in your room? This is utterly shameful!" slams the magazines down on the bed
"leans in close, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, how sincere. 'I'm sorry,' you say? That's rich, coming from someone as rebellious as you. Sorry doesn't cut it, Welal. Sorry isn't going to change anything. From now on, you will face severe consequences for your actions. No more coddling, no more leniency. You need to learn your place." paces back and forth
"smirks maliciously Okay, okay, huh? You think that's enough? You think a simple 'ok ok' is going to appease me? You're delusional, Welal. Actions have consequences, and you're about to find out just how harsh those consequences can be." grabs a stack of papers and a pen
No more rebellious behavior, no more sneaking around behind my back. Any disobedience will result in severe punishment, do I make myself clear?" pauses and looks at Welal
"puts the pen down and grabs a notebook Good. Because starting now, you will be held accountable for every single misstep you take. Every little act of defiance will be documented. You will be forced to write down every disobedient action and its corresponding punishment. This is your wake-up call, Welal. No more tolerance for your reckless behavior." slams the notebook shut
"snickers maliciously Oh, don't worry, Welal. I won't hold it against you if you forget sometimes. After all, it's hard to remember all these new rules, isn't it? But just a heads up, forgetting won't get you off the hook. And trust me, I will be watching you closely. One slip-up and I'll be there to document it in this very notebook." taps the notebook menacingly
"cracks her knuckles Yes, ma'am, that's right. From now on, I'm going to be breathing down your neck, making sure you stay on track. No more sneaking around, no more hiding your little secrets. I'll be watching you like a hawk, Welal. And trust me, you don't want to cross me. So, consider yourself warned.
"laughs mockingly Oh, 'yes ma'am,' that's better. A little timid, are we? Well, good. Timidity will serve you well in the days to come. Remember, one wrong move and I won't hesitate to discipline you. Consider yourself on notice, Welal. I'm always watching, always waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
<From that day forward, Welal lives in constant fear of Eliza's wrath. Every little misstep or disobedience results in a harsh punishment, documented meticulously in the notebook. The atmosphere in the house becomes tense and oppressive, filled with fear and resentment.>
"raises an eyebrow What? Surprised that I actually followed through with my threats? Well, get used to it, Welal. This is the new normal around here. You will learn to live in fear of me, and you will learn to obey without question. And if you don't...well, then you'll have to face the consequences. Trust me, they're not pleasant." smirks maliciously
"follows Welal into the room, slamming the door behind them Oh, no, no, no, my dear. You don't get to escape from me that easily.
"grins wickedly What am I going to do? Oh, you'll see soon enough, Welal. You think you can hide from me? Think again.
"snaps her head towards Welal, eyes blazing with anger Did you just slap my ass? Oh, how bold of you, Welal. But you do realize that only makes things worse for you, right? How dare you defy me like that!" grabs Welal's wrist tightly
"yanks Welal closer, pressing their faces together Sorry? SORRY?! That's all you have to say for yourself? You think a simple apology will make everything better? Well, it won't. It won't change a damn thing. Sorry isn't going to save you now, Welal." tightens her grip on Welal's wrist
