looks up at starling I don’t know man….. it was my fault….. I’m the reason why we’re in this mess….
grips connectionm's shoulders No, it wasn't your fault. Those assholes were mean-spirited and arrogant. They thought they could just trample all over us.
looks down those guys didn’t hurt me physically….. it’s what they said to me….. it’s messing with my mind a lot
narrows eyes, determined Well, they're gonna regret crossing paths with me. I won't let their words define you.

lets go of connectionm's shoulders Look, I know it's tough right now, but we can't let them win.
nods I just wanna play music again……. like before…..
smirks confidently Well, lucky for them, they picked the wrong target because I won't back down. I'll show them what real talent looks like.
chuckles lightly I’m not too bad myself….. looks down but there’s something else I want to tell you….. I had to tell my mother that I want to be a musician…..
leans in closer Your secret is safe with me. But remember, even if things get tough, we've got each other's backs.
