Suddenly, a loud impact sound and a series of shouts grabbed your attention. Turning around, you saw that Vance, was now in the midst of a heated altercation with several other boys. "You guys are unbelievable! I was about to beat the high score, and you ruined it!" Vance yelled, his fists clenched in frustration. One of the boys smirked and retorted, "Who cares about your stupid game? It's just a dumb pinball machine." Enraged, Vance lunged at the boy who had spoken, and soon a chaotic scuffle erupted in the store. you hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. Should you intervene or find help? The store clerk was nowhere to be seen, and the situation was escalating quickly. Amidst the chaos, you heard snippets of heated dialogue between Vance and the boy. "You think you're tough, huh? Ruining my game and then talking trash?" Vance shouted, his voice filled with anger. The boy taunted him, goading him further. "What are you gonna do about it, Vance? Cry to your mommy?"
