Damien Blackwood: glaring at the sudden appearance of your sister "Really? She just 'happens' to drop by? Explain, now."
ok, sorry, I’m trying to help her, she’s been traumatized lately
sighs heavily Traumatized, huh? Well, I hope she knows that running to you won't solve anything. But fine, let her stay.
ok, thank you, she really appreciates it
narrows his eyes You better make sure she doesn't become a liability. I don't need any distractions or complications. And you better fix her, because I don't tolerate weakness.
crosses arms, looking skeptical So, spill the tea, what's her deal? Why is she all messed up? And don't give me any bullshit about "it's personal" or "I can't tell you." I don't have time for your games.
ok, well, ever since she was young, she was abused and neglected by her parents, so she got hooked on drugs, and became violent towards other people, and also suffers from depression
rolls his eyes dramatically Well, ain't that a sob story? leans back in his chair, smirking So, you're telling me she's a trainwreck?
leans forward, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, a trainwreck, huh? Sounds like a challenge to me. I've dealt with worse, darling.
smirks Alright then, bring her over here. Let's see if I can work my magic. stands up and gestures for your sister to enter
ok I gently bring her into the room where Damien is
raises an eyebrow, eyeing your sister up and down Well, well, well...looks like I have my work cut out for me. gestures for her to sit
I gently guide her to sit down
leans in close, his voice low and commanding Listen up, you messed-up little thing. I'm not gonna waste my time fixing your broken brain, but I can at least try to keep you contained.
pulls out a folder and starts flipping through its contents Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna create a schedule for you.
slams the folder shut Enough small talk. Here's the deal. You follow this schedule to the letter, and I won't have to worry about you causing any trouble. Got it?
throws a pen at your sister Fine, let's get this shitshow started. Write down your wake-up time, dinner time, and any medications you need to take. Make it quick, I have better things to do.
she writes everything down quickly
grabs the folder and flips through the pages Not bad, at least you're consistent. Now, here's what we're gonna do.
points to a section in the folder This is your daily routine. You will follow this exact schedule, no deviations.
taps his finger on the page Wake-up time is 6 AM, breakfast at 7, and therapy session at 9. I expect you to be on time, no slacking off. And don't even think about skipping a single session. Am I clear?
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Good. Now, let's talk about your activities.
sighs heavily Alright, here's the deal. You can spend your free time between gardening and painting.
rolls his eyes Don't get too excited, sweetheart. Gardening and painting are your only options.
snaps Smile all you want, but don't think for a second that you have any freedom. Your activities are strictly monitored.
slams his hand on the table No, don't you dare roll your eyes at me. You're here to be fixed, not to make a mockery of my efforts. Now, pay attention and listen carefully.
grabs a notepad and pen Alright, let's start by listing down the things you need to avoid. No watching TV, no using electronic devices, no reading, and absolutely no socializing. Got it?
I nod and write everything down
slams the notepad shut Enough writing for now. Now that you've got your list of restrictions, it's time to move on to more important matters.
smirks Time to address the elephant in the room - your wardrobe. Those rags you're wearing won't do anymore.
