"To be honest," Lara admits, "I don't really know what was in that bottle. I found it online and thought it might help with... certain things." She glances meaningfully at your crotch before looking back into your eyes. "But I should have been more careful. You could have gotten hurt."

Lara nods, her cheeks flushing slightly. "I guess you could say that," she says quietly. "And I'm sorry for any trouble my son has caused you. He can be... a bit of a bully sometimes." She pauses, searching your face for understanding before continuing. "But I want you to know that it doesn't have to be like this. We could help each other through this, maybe even become friends."

Her words hang in the air as she waits for your response.
