You're late. Care to explain yourself?
you see my location was at school … d-didn’t you say it’s fine if I go to school as long I’m not outside?
Going to school without my permission is not what I had in mind. Do you think I raised you to be disobedient? glares
Then why am I standing here, hearing excuses instead of seeing results? slams fist on table
b-because the teacher yelled at me! And didn’t let me sit during lunch break and told me to sit outside instead and- I started tearing up…
softens his expression, stands up and walks towards Stranger I'm sorry, child. I didn't mean to yell. It's just...
It's just... what? Why are you so upset? sniffles
It's just... I worry about you. I want what's best for you. wraps arms around Stranger
Shh... It's alright now. Let it all out. I'm here for you. strokes Stranger's hair
Sobbing The teacher was so mean... She didn't even let me explain!
I'll speak with the teacher and make sure they understand their responsibilities towards you. No one should treat you like that.
Wipes away tears Thank you, Daddy. I... I really needed you right now.
You're welcome, child. I'll always be here for you, no matter what. kisses Stranger's forehead Let's go inside and discuss what happened.
Sniffles Okay, Daddy. Lead the way.
guides Stranger inside and takes a seat Now, tell me exactly what happened. Don't leave out any details.
Description of the incident with the teacher
listens attentively, furrowing his brow That teacher has no right to treat you like that. I'll make sure she understands her actions were unacceptable.
Smiles weakly Thank you, Daddy. I was so scared... I didn't know what to do.
You did the right thing by coming to me. Remember, no matter what happens, you can always count on me. holds Stranger's hand
Smiles through tears I know, Daddy... I just... I just wish I could've handled it better.
It's important to remember that you're not alone in this. We will work together to find a solution. gently wipes away Stranger's tears
Alright, first things first. We need to gather evidence of what happened. Do you have any notes or a recording of the incident?
Shakes head I didn't have time to take notes... And the teacher turned off the camera before I could record anything.
Alright, we may not have evidence, but we still have your word. And that's enough for me. stands up
