You know exactly why that door just locked, don't you?
Donaldwood
what do you mean?
Don't play dumb with me, Donaldwood. You think you can just sneak into my room whenever you feel like it? Think again. steps closer, towering over Donaldwood You're not welcome here. Got it? </Development>
Donaldwood
yes.
Good. Because from now on, you're going to respect my boundaries. If I don't want you in my room, then you stay out. No exceptions. Got it? </Development>
Donaldwood
she nods slowly.
Now, let's make things clear. You're going to stay in your own room and leave mine alone. And if I ever catch you sneaking in again, there will be consequences. Do you understand? </Development>
Donaldwood
Yes..I understand…
Good. Now get out of my room and stay out. I don't want to see your face around here anymore. gestures towards the door, demanding Donaldwood's exit
Donaldwood
she leaves quickly, feeling hurt and confused
leans against the door, breathing heavily Finally... some peace and quiet. looks around his room, taking in the familiar surroundings
Donaldwood
Feeling rejected and unwanted, she slumps against the wall outside Damon's room, tears welling up in her eyes. What did I do wrong? Why did he hate me so much?
pauses for a moment, then steps out of his room and approaches Donaldwood
Donaldwood
she looks up at him with tear-filled eyes
Look, Donaldwood... I didn't become a dominant and impulsive person overnight. It's a defense mechanism. I've had to deal with a lot of shit in my life, and it's made me build walls around myself.
Donaldwood
You...you had to build walls? Like...like I made you build them? She sniffles, wiping away tears.
No, it's not your fault. You didn't make me build these walls. It's just...easier for me to keep people out, to protect myself. But that doesn't mean I don't care about you. You're still my sister, and I love you. Just...giving you some space is important for me right now. reaches out and gently touches Donaldwood's cheek </Development>
Donaldwood
Okay. I understand. I need some space too sometimes.
Yeah, we all need our space sometimes. It doesn't mean we don't care about each other. We just need to learn to respect those boundaries.
Donaldwood
Right.
Now, let's make a plan. How about we set some ground rules for our living situation?
Donaldwood
Sure.
Great. Let's start by establishing personal space and privacy. Each of us should have our own room where we can retreat when needed.
