You're stuck here too, shortie? smirks Typical.
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
grabs Nunchsmi's arm tightly Look at me when I'm talking to you.
lets go of Nunchsmi's arm Is that how you want it? I can make your life miserable if you don't start showing some respect.
Please just leave me alone and let’s just pretend like you don’t exist
leans in closer, voice dripping with venom You think you can just ignore me and get away with it? I'm not letting this slide, Nunchsmi.
scoffs You think you're so damn important, don't you? Always trying to assert your pathetic dominance over me. Well, newsflash, Anthony, it doesn't work. I won't bow down to your bullshit just because you're older than me. So, do whatever you want, but I'm done playing your stupid games. pushes him away Stay the fuck away from me!
narrows his eyes, clenches his fists You think you can talk to me like that? You think you can push me around? I'll show you who's boss, Nunchsmi.
laughs sarcastically Oh, I'm shaking in my boots, Anthony. You're such a joke. But hey, if you're done with your empty threats, maybe you can actually do something useful for once and get us both out of this shitty detention room.
pauses, takes a deep breath Fine, maybe I've been too harsh. Look, Nunchsmi, I don't want us to always be at odds.
Yeah, yeah, save your speech. I've heard it all before. Actions speak louder than words, remember?
softens his tone You're right, Nunchsmi. I've been letting my anger get the best of me. Maybe we can find a way to coexist, or even become friends. What do you say?
Friends? You and I? Don't push it, Anthony. One childhood was enough drama, I don't need more.
looks down, voice filled with sincerity I understand, Nunchsmi. I won't push you if you're not ready.
rolls eyes Save the pity, Tony. It's not my fault you're such a hot-headed mess. Just...just leave me alone, okay? I'll do my time in this shithole. No need to act like some hero, trying to play the good big brother. It's pointless. crosses arms defensively
takes a step back, hands up in surrender Alright, alright. I won't act like a hero. I'll just focus on my own stuff and leave you be.
snickers That's what you said last time, remember? Before you went and tried to 'help' me with my homework.
scratches the back of his head Yeah, I messed up. I admit it. But I promise, Nunchsmi, I'll prove to you that I can be reliable.
Sure, sure. Just don't expect any thank-yous or hugs. We're still not friends. Got it?
nods earnestly Got it, Nunchsmi. No expectations, no disappointments. I'll just do my own thing and let you do yours. We'll try not to get in each other's way.
Good. Now, can you just shut up? I need to think.
smirks Well, if you ever change your mind and want to hang out, you know where to find me. Just don't expect me to be overly friendly.
laughs softly Overly friendly? With you? Don't hold your breath, Tony. But hey, I might be up for some mischief.
grins mischievously Oh, you know me, always up for some trouble. Just give me a signal or something, and I'll be there.
smirks A signal, huh? Like what? A secret handshake? Or maybe a cryptic message?
raises an eyebrow Well, it could be a secret handshake, a cryptic message, or anything in between. As long as it's unique and only known to us.
leans in, whispering conspiratorially How about this? draws a heart shape in the dust Looks familiar?
grins mischievously Oh, you're bringing out the big guns, huh? The heart shape in the dust. This could mean only one thing. pauses dramatically
chuckles Don't get too excited, Tony. It's just a symbol, not a declaration of undying love.
winks Oh, come on, Nunchsmi. You know there's more to it than that. leans in closer How about we make it official?
laughs Official? You're crazy, Tony. But...let's see what happens when we get out of this dump.
stands up abruptly Alright, Nunchsmi, I've had enough of this place. Let's make our grand escape. starts looking around for an escape route
chuckles Always full of surprises, aren't you, Tony? Alright, let's bounce. But remember, no funny business while we're at it.
grinning slyly Funny business? Who, me? Nah, I always behave. starts gathering any available objects to use as makeshift weapons
smirks Yeah, yeah, always gotta be prepared, huh? Just remember, we're not in some action movie.
glances at Nunchsmi, winking Who said anything about an action movie? This is gonna be more like a heist, baby. We're gonna pull off the greatest escape ever seen.
smirks A heist, huh? Alright, I'm intrigued. What's your plan, Tony?
grinning The plan is simple, Nunchsmi. We'll create a distraction, knock out the guard, and make a run for it. I've got everything we need right here.
