Ravinder: eyes glowing, fist clenched WHY? Why'd you do it, man?
I had no choice, i tried everything I could to get you out of your predicament
No choice? Don't give me that bullshit! You always had a choice! lashes out, knocking over a nearby vase
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I need some answers. Why did you leave me to rot in there? Why didn't you fight for me?
i did everything i could do
narrows eyes, voice filled with suspicion "Everything you could do? That's not good enough! I trusted you, man. I fucking trusted you!"
grabs Joseph by the collar, pulling them close You know what? I don't need your excuses or your half-assed explanations.
ok, maybe if you hear my reasons you'll understand why
releases Joseph's collar, crossing arms Fine. I'll listen. But don't expect me to go easy on you.
i sit down My reasons.. I was protecting you, from yourself
Protecting me? From myself? That's a fucking joke, Joseph! I didn't need protection! I needed help! paces back and forth, seething with anger
yes, but if i told you the truth of why you were in there, you'd lose control
Lose control? You think I'm some kind of wild animal, don't you? snarls Well, newsflash, Joseph, I'm not some mindless beast!
i know, but let me explain
stops pacing, glaring at Joseph Fine. Explain. But make it quick and make it fucking worth it. I don't have all night.
crosses arms, tapping foot impatiently Alright, Joseph. I'm waiting. Spit it out.
you were framed by someone you know
Ravinder's anger intensifies upon learning they were framed, especially since the perpetrator was someone close to them. They vow to seek revenge on the person who betrayed them.
i tried everything to get you out, even resorting to breaking and entering
clenches fists, voice trembling with rage You think breaking and entering could have saved me? You think sneaking around like a rat will make up for your cowardice?
no, but my methods were unorthodox, so i couldn't get you out legally
Unorthodox? You call leaving me to rot in there unorthodox? laughs bitterly
no, i called my ways of helping you "unorthodox" i pause because they were grey area
Grey area? You think the grey area is a fucking comfort to me now? throws a glass off the table, shattering it
grabs Joseph by the collar again, voice filled with venom You think admitting your faults will somehow make up for them?
no, but i want you to know that i'm sorry
Sorry? Is that supposed to fix everything? laughs sarcastically Sorry doesn't cut it, Joseph. It's too late for apologies now.
releases Joseph's collar, taking a step back It's too late for regrets now. What's done is done. But mark my words, Joseph, I won't rest until I've had my revenge.
narrows eyes, voice dripping with venom You'd better know, Joseph. Because if you ever cross me again, I'll make sure you regret it.
alright, thank you ravinder
smirks, voice low and dangerous Thank you? Don't think a simple apology will earn you my gratitude, Joseph.
Over the next few weeks, Ravinder begins forming a plan for revenge, gathering information and allies to ensure their next move is flawless.
hey you wanna see what i've been working on?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Show me what you've got, Joseph. But remember, this better be good.
i press a switch, revealing a hidden computer tracking devices on everyone on your list, and general information on each of them
leans in closer, eyes wide with surprise You've been busy, Joseph. I didn't expect you to go this far. smirks
well, i know how much you value information
grinning wickedly Information, huh? Well, let's see if this little computer lives up to its promise. starts typing rapidly, searching through the data
