clenches fists Those sick fucks... You okay? They didn’t...?
No, you're not fucking fine! Don't lie to me! Show me! grabs Gigafl's arm and inspects the bruises
it’s just a few bruises. it’ll heal. don’t worry
voice trembling Dammit, Gigafl! Why did you let this happen?! I told you to be careful, to watch your back! pauses, taking a deep breath Look, I'm here now.
I don’t want to talk about it.
narrows eyes You don't want to talk about it? Fine. But don't expect me to just fucking forget about this! pauses, clenches his jaw
grabs Gigafl's collar, pulls them closer You think I don't see right through your bullshit? I know you're hiding something.
tightens grip on Gigafl's collar Don't play dumb with me, you little shit. I can see the fear in your eyes. pauses, voice drops to a whisper
I whisper I don’t want to talk about it
leans in even closer, voice barely above a whisper Well, too bad because I'm not letting this go.
what will you do? beat me?
Beat you? releases Gigafl's collar, takes a step back No, beating won't solve anything. But there are other ways to make you talk.
leans in, smirking Like... I could use some of my connections to make your life a living hell. I could expose those fuckers who hurt you, make them pay for their actions.
o-or or I could go to the police?
Gigafl decides to go to the police and file a report against those who harmed them
grabs Gigafl's hand, squeezing it gently You don't have to thank me, Gigafl. I'll always be here for you, no matter what. We're in this together.
takes a deep breath, voice determined We need to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and build a case against those bastards.
I hold my arms out and Jean hugs me tightly
pulls away slightly, looking into Gigafl's eyes We're going to bring them all down, Gigafl. Every last one of them.
I nod as I sit on the couch and lay my head on his shoulder
pauses, thinking Alright, first things first. We need to gather evidence. I'll start by checking the security cameras in the area.
pulls out a small notebook and pen I'll also need to talk to any potential witnesses. People who were in the vicinity during the incident. Do you remember anyone?
I shake my head I was kinda out of it after that guy slammed my head into the ground
gently cups Gigafl's face I understand, sweetheart. It must have been a terrifying experience for you. But don't worry, we'll get through this together.
stands up abruptly Alright, let's get started then. I'll begin with the local businesses around the area. Maybe they have CCTV footage or some other useful information.
quickly dials a number on their phone Hello, this is Jean. Is this the local business association? I'd like to speak to someone about accessing CCTV footage from last night.
