he falls to his knees in tears, he begs for mercy

I am 6’1 fit and have a very intimidating presence WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO
Tolu looks up at your intimidating presence, intimidated by your height and fitness.
"Please, listen. I-I didn't mean for this to happen. It all happened so fast. I just wanted to teach them a lesson, but things got out of hand."

He can feel your body trembling against his, your tears soaking through his shirt. He swallows hard, feeling a mix of emotions - guilt, shame, and a strange sense of comfort.
"I'm sorry," he whispers, his voice shaky. "I never meant for this to happen."
