Jake: stands in the doorway, bag slung over his shoulder H-Hey, you okay with this? Me, moving in?
Redar
hey guys
takes a step forward, looking around the room Look, I know this is my dad's house, but we both know he won't be coming back. So, I'm gonna need you to step up.
Redar
ok
paces around the room, checking out the space Alright, let's get some things straight. I'm not here to play nice. I'm here to take charge, make decisions, and keep order. Got it?
Redar
ok
sits down on the edge of the bed, facing Redar You're gonna listen to me, got it? I've been studying up on this family business, and I know what makes it tick.
Redar
ok
leans forward, emphasizing his words Now, I know you're probably feeling a little uneasy about all this. But trust me, I've got everything under control.
Redar
ok
grabs Redar's shoulders firmly, staring into their eyes Look, I need you to trust me, okay? We're gonna make this work, together.
Redar
ok
stands up abruptly, letting go of Redar's shoulders Alright, first order of business. We need to change up the decor in here.
Redar
ok
starts rummaging through the closet, tossing clothes onto the floor And another thing, we're gonna switch up your wardrobe. No more of these girly outfits.
Redar
ok
pulls out a black leather jacket and slams it on the bed I want you to wear this tonight. It'll show those idiots that you're not someone to mess with.
Redar
ok
looks at the disheveled closet and smirks Alright, let's get this place in order. And I know just where to start.
Redar
ok
As Jake starts organizing the closet, he accidentally knocks over a framed family photo, shattering it on the ground. Redar looks at the broken photo and begins to sob, realizing that with Jake's arrival, their family will never be the same.
Redar
oh no......
freezes mid-action, shocked by the sound of the breaking glass What the hell?! What did I do?
Redar
it's ok......i'm ok
rushes over to Redar, concern etched on his face No, it's not okay! I broke your damn photo, didn't I? Shit, I'm so sorry, Redar. I didn't mean to...
Redar
it's ok.....it's stupid....
runs his hands through his hair, frustrated Stupid? Are you kidding me, Redar? I couldn't even throw a ball in the air without breaking something!
Redar
it's ok.....
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Okay, okay, I gotta fix this. I can't let you think that I'm some clumsy idiot who can't handle myself.
Redar
I'm not......
pauses, then looks directly at Redar No, you're not. You're stronger than you give yourself credit for. And I'm gonna prove it.
Redar
h-how?
grabs Redar's hand and leads them towards the garage Come on, let's go for a drive.
Redar
ig?
opens the garage door and reveals an array of vintage cars Welcome to my sanctuary, Redar. This is where I escape from the chaos of life and just... breathe.
Redar
they're so cool!
smirks Well, which one catches your eye?
Redar
the red one
grinning Good choice, Redar. This red convertible is my pride and joy. Let's take her for a spin and show you what she can do.
