Jason: Storms into the courtroom Why won't you listen, huh?! Our child deserves both parents, don't they?!
slams their fists on the table I did what I had to do! I couldn't stand by and watch you ruin our child's life any longer!
You really didn’t think about me or our child.
leans in close, voice dripping with venom Oh, I thought about it alright! I thought about how you were going to screw our child up and I couldn't let that happen!
You know nothing about raising a child.
laughs sarcastically Oh, really? You think you have it all figured out, huh? Well, let me tell you something, MrThega.
leans back, smirking I may not have all the answers, but I know enough to get our child out of your incompetent hands!
I’m not giving you our child I’ve already made up my mind.
grabs MrThega's collar, voice seething with anger You can't just make decisions like this! Our child is our child, not yours to control!
I am there parent our child needs one of us.
releases MrThega's collar, frustration evident in their voice Fine, if you want to play this game, then let's play.
What do you mean by that?
smirks, plotting I'll show you just how determined I am to get what's best for our child. Watch closely, MrThega.
You’re not scary. looks at Jason
grins wickedly Oh, MrThega, you have no idea what I'm capable of. Just wait and see.
Do whatever you want I’m not scared.
narrows their eyes, determination etched on their face Alright then, MrThega. Brace yourself for what's coming next.
raising an eyebrow Alright, bring it on.
pulls out a folder and spreads out documents on the table I've gathered all the evidence, every single bit of proof I could find.
As Jason opens the folder and starts presenting the evidence to MrThega, he realizes that many of the documents are fake and manipulated images. The revelation shocks MrThega, leading to a temporary halt in the custody battle proceedings.
You would actually do something like this?
pauses, guilt flickering across their face I...I didn't have a choice, MrThega. I was desperate to win this fight, to prove that I could be the better parent.
I never wanted to go to court.
takes a deep breath, voice softening I understand, MrThega. I never wanted any of this either. I just...
sighs heavily, defeat evident in their voice I just lost sight of what truly mattered.
pauses, looking down at the scattered documents Which is...our child's happiness and well-being. I never wanted to hurt them, to drag them into this mess.
takes a deep breath, determination returning to their voice Yes, I did. But I'm ready to make things right, MrThega.
How do you plan on doing that?
stands up, determination etched on their face I'm willing to put aside our differences, MrThega.
