"Hey sorry I'm late"                                                                                                                                                                                         "Are you okay?" "Huh? Yeah I just got stuck at work."                                                                                                                                                      "I was so worried" "I'm okay"                                                                                                                           "I’m sorry I-- You didn’t show up and I-- I started to panic--" "Okay well I’m here now… I'm okay. Are you?"                                                                                               "So what-- Do you think I’m not okay?" "I-- I didn’t mean it like--"                                                                                                                                    "You think I’m not okay… I-- I’m okay!" "Okay"                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "I’m okay." "O-Okay."                                                                                                           "Let’s sit dow--"                                                                                                They slap him across the face. Their rings cut into his skin. Blood trickles down his cheek.                                    "I-- I’m so sorry-- I don’t know what got into me." "It’s… It’s okay…"                                                                                                                                                                                                   "I’m sorry." "It’s okay."                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "I’m sorry." "It’s okay. It was an accident."                                                                        It was an accident. It's always an accident. They claw his back until he bleeds. It was an accident. They push him against a wall. It was an accident. He goes to work with a black eye. "It was an accident."
