Tina
kisses him on his forehead Stop saying that, Toby. You're not a monster, and you're definitely not a burden. You're mine, and I love you just the way you are.

Tina
touches his cheek Toby, whatever it is, you can trust me. I won't judge you.
Toby's eyes well up with tears as he takes a deep breath My father... he wasn't just abusive. He... he used me. For his sick pleasure.
Tina
