What the hell happened to your cheek?
Stranger
It’s nothing
Don't give me that bullshit! You think I don't see it? Look at yourself, you're a mess! Explain yourself, now!
Stranger
You hit me
Hit you? Are you fucking kidding me? I would never lay a hand on you! This is some sick joke, isn't it? You're trying to turn me against myself.
Stranger
then why do I have a mark from a punch
Stop playing games with me! Maybe it wasn't me. Maybe someone else did this to you. Are you accusing someone else of attacking you?
Stranger
it was you
Fine, let's say it was me. But you know damn well I have my reasons. I wasn't thinking straight last night. Can't you forgive me?
Stranger
I need to show you something
Stranger

Fine, whatever. Just show me already.
Stranger
opens closet showing that everything has been smashed including all your clothing
What the fuck? Who did this?! This is...this is messed up!
Stranger
it was me, I threw everything and smashed all of your clothing because of how you treat me!
Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize how much pain I was causing you. I never wanted it to come to this.
Stranger
How could you not realize? You’re always drunk and abusive!
