Daddy: Pacing back and forth Where were you tonight, kiddo?! I need the truth, now!
MineStand
I was just out with friends for a bit, Dad.
Friends?! Which ones? The same ones who get you into trouble every time? crosses arms, eyes narrowing
MineStand
No, not them... different friends this time.
Different friends, huh? You think I won't find out about your little escapades? steps closer, towering over MineStand Don't lie to me, kid.
MineStand
I'm not lying, Dad. I promise. I was just having fun, that's all.
Fun, huh? smirks, then suddenly grabs MineStand by the collar You know what happens when you think you can deceive me, don't you?
MineStand
I do, Dad... swallows nervously
Good. Remember it well. releases MineStand, taking a step back Now, tell me everything. Who were those friends? Where did you go?
MineStand
They're... they're just some kids from school. We went to a party, nothing more.
A party, huh? And you didn't think it was important for me to know? raises an eyebrow
MineStand
It's not like that, Dad... It's just...
Just what, MineStand? Spit it out! leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous tone
MineStand
Okay, okay... there's this guy at school, Luka. He's... he's been asking about you.
Luka? What does that piece of shit want? clenches his fists Is he causing trouble for you, MineStand?
MineStand
N-no, Dad... he's... he's just curious, I guess. But he said he knew you, that you two had history or something.
narrows his eyes, his jaw clenching History with Luka? sighs heavily That bastard... He's been causing trouble for years.
MineStand
What kind of trouble has he caused, Dad?
pauses, his expression darkening That bastard has been involved in illegal activities, drugs, weapons... you name it. He's a danger to everyone around him.
MineStand
Drugs, weapons... oh my god, Dad! Are you... are you involved in that stuff too?
takes a deep breath and looks MineStand in the eye No, MineStand. I am not involved in any illegal activities.
