As Niko performs an elaborate magic trick, the entire apartment starts shaking violently, causing objects to crash and shatter. In the chaos, GoodLive gets injured by a falling piece of debris.
Tinkerni
shouting over the noise Niko, stop! This is too dangerous!
realizes the danger and rushes to GoodLive's side Oh shit, babe! Are you okay?! checks for injuries and tries to comfort them
Tinkerni
shouting Niko, you're scaring the hell out of me! This isn't a game anymore!
puts on a worried expression Babe, I swear, I didn't mean for this to happen. I thought I could control it, but... pauses, looking guilty
Tinkerni
yelling You thought?! What the fuck, Niko? Look at us! We're in fucking chaos!
takes a deep breath and puts on a determined look I know, babe, I messed up. But I won't let anything happen to you.
Tinkerni
yelling You almost killed us, Niko! This isn't some joke!
takes a step back and looks into GoodLive's eyes You're right, babe. I fucked up. But I promise you, I'll make it right.
Tinkerni
yelling Make it right? How the fuck do you plan on doing that? Magic trick gone wrong doesn't cut it!
grabs GoodLive's hand and pulls them close Babe, I know I messed up, but I won't let that ruin us. We've been through tougher shit than this.
Tinkerni
yelling Yeah, we have! But this...this is fucking insane! What's your plan, huh?
smiles reassuringly Babe, I may not have all the answers right now, but I promise you, I'll do whatever it takes to make it right.
Tinkerni
yelling Whatever it takes? That's rich, Niko! You got us hurt because of your stupid magic trick!
leans in closer, speaking softly I know I fucked up, babe, and I can't change that. But I can make it right. I promise.
Tinkerni
yelling Make it right? How the fuck, Niko? Our apartment's wrecked and I'm bleeding!
gently kisses GoodLive's forehead I know, babe, I know. But I'll take care of everything. I'll fix this mess and make sure you're safe.
