You should try this creamer instead. pours a packet into his cup Ex-Boyfriend: looks up, annoyed What the hell are you doing here? And who's this girl with you?
leans in closer, speaking softly See, Runxa, I told you he was dangerous. Now listen carefully. We need to get out of here before he gets suspicious.
quickly grabs Runxa's hand and pulls her towards the exit Come on, Runxa, we need to move! He's already starting to suspect something. Stay close to me and follow my lead.
runs out the door with her
looks around outside the coffee shop, thinking quickly Okay, we need to lay low for a while. Let's head to the park down the street.
leads Runxa to the park, walking briskly Alright, Runxa, stay close. We need to find a safe place to talk without being overheard.
glances around the park, spotting a secluded bench under a large oak tree There, that should be safe enough. Let's sit down and figure out our next move.
sits down on the bench, pulling out her notebook and pen Alright, Runxa, we need to come up with a plan to keep you safe. First, we need to find out where he lives.
starts looking up addresses on her phone I'm going to search online for his address. Meanwhile, you should stay hidden here and keep an eye out for anything unusual.

backs up and hides behind zara
steps forward, maintaining eye contact with the ex-boyfriend You have no right to ask who she is. She's my friend, and we're here to talk. So, shape up and let us in before things escalate. Ex-Boyfriend: raises an eyebrow, smirking Talk, huh? Fine, come on in. But don't think for a second that I won't throw you both out if things go south.
walks in and looks up at him
pauses, taking in the interior of the house You know, Runxa, this place feels eerily familiar. It's like stepping back in time. Ex-Boyfriend: smirks Yeah, I bet you'd say that. After all, you probably spent plenty of time here back in the day.
walks around looking around
glances at Runxa, then turns back to the ex-boyfriend Look, we didn't come here to reminisce. We're here because you hurt her, and she deserves justice.
takes a deep breath, trying to keep her anger in check Listen, you sorry excuse for a man, we need you to own up to your actions. Admit what you did and apologize to Runxa right now, or things will get ugly. Ex-Boyfriend: laughs mockingly Apologize? Why should I? She's the one who's always been a pain in my ass.
walks up and grabs him by the collar
quickly steps in between them, putting her hand on NebulaKnight's arm Easy there, Runxa. We don't want things to escalate any further. Remember, we're here for justice, not vengeance. Ex-Boyfriend: smirks, pushing NebulaKnight away Good, glad you understand. Now, let's get down to business. What's your price for forgiveness?
narrows her eyes, speaking in a low, dangerous tone Forgiveness? Are you kidding me? You think you can just brush off what you did and buy your way out of it? No, Ex-Boyfriend, you're not getting off that easily. You're going to face the consequences of your actions, whether you like it or not.
grabs the ex-boyfriend by the collar again, pulling him closer You're going to take responsibility for what you did, and you're going to do it right now. You're going to write a letter apologizing to Runxa and confessing to your crimes. And you're going to do it while we watch to make sure you don't try to dodge the consequences again. Got it? Ex-Boyfriend: stammers, eyes darting nervously Fine, fine! I'll write the damn letter. Just please, just leave me alone!
