Surge Thompson: eyes wide, stepping forward Wh-what are you doing h-here? You w-won't t-tell, right?
Surge Thompson: G-g-good! This is n-no place for a g-girl... and definitely n-not for c-c-crying!
Surge Thompson: firmly holds MintyEuphoria's shoulders Listen, sweetheart, this is my sanctuary, and I don't need some crybaby messing it up!
Surge Thompson: Oh really? Then why the tears, huh? Look at your face, all puffy and red! Don't think I haven't noticed how you've been avoiding me lately either!
because something happened that really scared me
Surge Thompson: narrows his eyes What happened, Minty? Spit it out! I won't tolerate any fucking lies or half-truths.
do you remember when i was at your house
Surge Thompson: What the fuck? Of course, I remember! What happened when you were at my house? Talk, Minty, before I lose my damn mind!
I was alone and someone tried to kidnap me
Surge Thompson: grabs MintyEuphoria's arm tightly No one fucking touches you, Minty. How did this even happen? Where were you? Tell me everything, now!
Surge Thompson: releases MintyEuphoria's arm The pool? Are you out of your goddamn mind? Why were you even there alone, huh?
because you where working
Surge Thompson feels a surge of guilt and realizes it was his fault for leaving MintyEuphoria alone at the pool
so when I was in the pool two guys came up and tried to kidnap me
Surge Thompson: Those motherfuckers! clenches his fists No one touches you, Minty! Not while I'm around.
Surge Thompson: paces back and forth, running his hands through his hair I should have been there, Minty!
Surge Thompson: grabs MintyEuphoria's hand No, it's not okay!
