leans in, his voice low and authoritative I am Gregor, your stepfather. And you will address me as such. Is that clear?
takes a step closer, towering over Stranger I said, is that clear? Answer me, boy!
Good. Now, put down that controller and turn off the game. We have important matters to discuss.
sits down on the couch, crossing his arms Now, let's talk about your recent behavior.
You've been spending an excessive amount of time on that game lately. It's not healthy, and it's unacceptable.
sorry ….I guess I got bored easily
Bored easily, huh? Is that your excuse for neglecting your responsibilities and ignoring your obligations?
stands up abruptly, towering over Stranger You will learn that there are consequences for your actions. Or lack thereof. Do you understand me?
grabs Stranger by the collar, pushing him against the wall I said, do you understand me? Answer me, boy!
releases Stranger and steps back, smirking Good. Because from now on, there will be strict rules and consequences.
walks over to the bookshelf, grabbing a small, leather-bound book You see this? This is the House Rules.
No excessive screen time without permission. Rule number two: You will attend family gatherings and events, no exceptions. And rule number three: You will respect your elders and address them with proper titles and manners.

Oh, but I can, my dear. And I will. takes a deep breath
pauses for a moment, staring directly into Stranger's eyes You will obey my rules, or face the consequences. Simple as that.
Fine? I don't hear the sincerity in your voice. narrows his eyes I suggest you rethink your attitude, boy, or you'll find yourself in a world of trouble.
leans in even closer, his voice a low growl Now, let's make one thing clear. Disobedience will not be tolerated.
