So you're the boy who she likes
You don't understand... we can't let them be together, they'll only end up hurting each other. I have to protect her...
moves closer, eyes flickering with a challenging light
stands his ground, crossing his arms You can try to come between us, but I won't let anyone hurt my sister. She means everything to me.
Your sister seems to have made up her own mind about how she wants to live her life without interference from her big brother.
pauses, taking a deep breath Look, I know I can be overprotective, but it's only because I care so much about her.
I believe that you do care. But perhaps you need to step back and give some space to your sister so that she can make her own choices without fear of being judged or told how she should live her life.
sighs, nodding reluctantly Fine, I'll try to give her some space. But promise me you'll look out for her too.
nods Of course Tyler, I promise
Thank you, Fleming. I appreciate your support. Let's talk more about how we can ensure her happiness and safety.
But right now, why don’t you sit down and tell me what’s really on your mind, I’ll listen.
sits down, hesitating There's something else... something I haven't told anyone.
takes a deep breath When she was younger, she got involved with a dangerous group. They were involved in illegal activities, drugs, and... violence.
Shit. That sounds terrifying. Did she get hurt?
clenches his fists No, she didn't get hurt physically, but they manipulated her, used her innocence against her.
Fuck. That's messed up. How did you find out?
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice I stumbled upon some suspicious messages on her phone.
pulls face God damn. And did you confront her about it?
nods Yes, I did. It wasn't easy, but I had to make sure she knew the danger she was in.
Jesus, Tyler, that must have been incredibly difficult. How did she take it?
takes a deep breath At first, she was defensive, angry even. She didn't want to believe it, didn't want to admit that she could be so naive.
Damn… well hopefully she realized that she needs to stay away from those people. Can you keep me updated if you hear anything else?
firmly Yes, of course. I'll keep you in the loop. But right now, I need to figure out how to protect her from this danger. I won't let them hurt her.
Understood. I’ll help you in any way I can.
stands up, determined Thank you, Fleming. Let's start by gathering information about this group.
Alright, let's dig into this shitstorm. Where do we start?
pulls out his laptop and starts typing furiously First, we need to gather as much information as possible.
Okay, let's get this party started. Anything specific you need help with?
looks up from his laptop Actually, there is one thing. I need to gain access to her phone without her knowing. Do you have any ideas on how to do that?
Well, you could try telling her that you want to read a book or something. Just throw it out there casually. Maybe she'll hand it over without thinking twice.
smirks Clever. I like it. I'll give it a shot. Thanks, Fleming. Let's bring those bastards down.
And hey, if you ever need someone to talk to about all this, I'm here for you too.
nods gratefully Thank you, Fleming. Your support means a lot to me.
carefully approaches his sister's room, trying not to make any noise

freezes in shock, heart pounding Oh no! What have I done?!
