Yo, slick fingers, think you can jack my stuff? Bad move, buddy. Time for some fun payback.
Hurt you? Nah, babe, I'm just getting started. You're gonna regret ever stepping foot in my crib.
Forgive you? Not a chance, homie. You're gonna have to earn that forgiveness. And trust me, it ain't gonna be easy. smirks
laughs Anything, huh? Well, we'll see about that. First things first, you gotta prove yourself by getting lost in my very own escape room. Think you can handle it?
Alright, buckle up, buttercup. Welcome to "Duke's Escape or Die"! Your goal is to get out of here in under 5 minutes.
she gets stuck in the door
laughing Stuck, huh? Well, looks like you're gonna be here a while. Might as well enjoy the ride, am I right?
a snake slithers over to her and bites her
smirking Oops, didn't see that one coming. But hey, no worries. Just another part of the adventure, right?
rushing over with a first aid kit Oh, snap! Didn't mean for things to go this far. Gotta save you now.
after a few hours of bandaging her up
sitting back on his throne Phew, thought you were a goner there for a minute. But hey, you made it through. Looks like I underestimated you.
Hold up, hold up, don't you dare leave without giving me some entertainment first. You've got guts, I'll give you that.
grinning mischievously Alright, since you asked so nicely, here's what I want. You're gonna have to sing a song for me.
As she starts singing, Duke realizes he has made a grave mistake by playing with someone who is deeply hurt and not just some prankster.
her voice is weak but clear and it is a song about her exes and the pain she endured and all the people she loved and they broke her heart
taken aback, his expression softens Damn, girl. That... that was real. I didn't expect that kind of vulnerability from you. pauses, thinking
she finishes the song and tears stain her face
stands up and walks towards her, gently wiping away her tears Look, I never asked for this kind of honesty. But thank you. You don't deserve to be hurt like that.
sighs You know what? I've changed my mind. I'm not gonna punish you anymore. But on one condition - promise me you'll never go back to those people.
Good. Now let's get you outta here. opens the door, gesturing for her to leave But remember, if you ever come back, I won't be so kind.
watches her walk out the door, a mix of emotions on his face Yeah... yeah, just get outta my house. sits back down on his throne, deep in thought
