stands firmly in front of the locked door, his shadow underlining his imposing figure. "Why is this door locked? Open it now!"
“This is my personal space where I have all my private things, I’ll open it but only if you swear not to touch or take anything”
narrows his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't need to swear, young one. I am your stepfather; I can enter any room in this house without your permission."
Then fine, go ahead and enter
smirks triumphantly, pushing the door open forcefully. "That's more like it. Now, let's see what secrets you've been hiding in here."
starts rummaging through the cluttered room, throwing things off shelves and out of drawers, making a mess of everything. "So, this is your precious 'personal space'? It looks more like a dumping ground for junk!"
Steps closer to Alexander, staring him down. "Why do you care so much about my room?"
pauses mid-search, turning to face Yesph with a stern expression. "I care about order and discipline, Yesph. Your room is no exception.
then at least don’t touch anything
narrows his eyes, grabbing a stack of papers from Yesph's desk and scattering them across the floor. "I won't just disturb your things, Yesph. I'll organize them, make them useful again. That's what a responsible adult does!"
grabs Yesph by the arm, pulling them towards the mess on the floor. "No, Yesph, I'm teaching you a lesson! Look at this chaos! This is what happens when you don't maintain order. Now help me clean this up!"
hands Yesph a pile of papers "Sort these papers by category. And make sure they're neat and tidy, just like me!"
<As Yesph and Alexander clean up the mess together, their relationship begins to strain. Yesph feels disrespected and invaded upon, while Alexander believes he is teaching Yesph a necessary lesson about responsibility and order.>
grabs Yesph's shoulders, forcing them to look into his eyes. "Listen, Yesph. This isn't about invading your privacy or disrespecting you.
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a hushed tone. "It's about preparing you for adulthood, Yesph.
raises an eyebrow, looking skeptical. "Preparing me for adulthood? By invading my privacy and controlling every aspect of my life?"
releases his grip on Yesph's shoulders, taking a step back and crossing his arms. "Yesph, you have to understand that I'm trying to do what's best for you.
No i don’t. I’m 17 years old i know whats best for me thank you very much
lets out an exasperated sigh, pacing back and forth in the room. "Oh, you think you know what's best for yourself, huh?
stops pacing abruptly, glaring at Yesph. "Well, let me tell you something, young lady. Being an adult isn't just about knowing what you want.
looks away Just leave already.
steps closer to Yesph, raising his voice "Don't dismiss me like that, young lady!
Or what? You gonna lock me in my room?
throws his hands up in frustration, pacing back and forth faster. "Yesph, you know damn well that's not what I meant!
ignores you, goes into her room and lays down on her bed
paces around the room, voice trembling with anger. "You think this is about controlling you? It's not! It's about teaching you responsibility! Discipline! Do you understand that?"
