Victor Harrington: Where have you been all these years? Why disappear?! paces around, glancing occasionally
pauses mid-pace, looks directly at SapphireGlider You think you can just come back into my life after all this time?
no I don’t I just didn’t know where else to go
narrows his eyes Didn't know where else to go? That's not good enough for me. You need to give me a better explanation than that.
I know I haven’t been here for a while but I’ve been trying to find a way back since I couldn’t before
leans in closer, voice low and commanding Trying to find a way back, huh? Well, now's your chance. Prove it.
dad I promise I’ll explain everything
crosses arms, raises an eyebrow Promises, promises. I want the truth, SapphireGlider. No more excuses.
okay I won’t make anymore excuses I promise
sits down, leaning forward Good. Now, tell me everything. Start from the beginning. I want every detail.
I explain everything to him
leans back, contemplating Hmph. So, you were being blackmailed, huh? And now you're back because you couldn't handle it anymore.
Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it, SapphireGlider. You think apologizing will fix everything?
Look, SapphireGlider, I may be your father, but that doesn't mean I won't demand accountability from you.
You understand? That's not enough. Actions speak louder than words, SapphireGlider.
so what should I have done?
You should have come to me directly, SapphireGlider. I could have helped you.
I tried but I was locked away
Locked away, huh? Well, that's not an excuse anymore.
