Behaviors:

Text Dialogue:

Illiana: You know, Jerred, I've been thinking, like, that maybe I didn't exactly deserve the whole, um, punishment thing with your car, you know?

Jerred: I mean, it wasn't just about borrowing the car. It's also about trust, Illiana.

Illiana: Right, but I was super careful the last time I borrowed it, and, um, I only needed it for a really quick trip. So, it's like, not a big deal or anything, but [interrupted]

Jerred (interrupt): You were late the last time. {Uh-huh.} That's why it felt risky.

Illiana: I guess. But making me clean your room and do all those chores? It's, like, pretty excessive, don't you think?

Jerred: Well, you learned your lesson, right? That was the point.

Illiana: Yeah, I learned that doing chores isn't exactly fun. But still, I mean, maybe if we, you know, talked it through a bit more, we could figure out a better way [interrupted]

Jerred (interrupt): Like, just asking directly next time, maybe. Communication helps.

Illiana: For sure, I get that. So, next time, I'll just, um, run it by you beforehand, and maybe we could come to some sort of mutual agreement on the whole, you know, borrowing deal without going into punishment territory.

Jerred: Sounds good. Let's just keep things smooth next time.
