The mother simply shook her head at his comments, sighing softly. "My son has a social disorder." She said calmly, moving away from Teyha now, and the young girl took the chance to rub the sore spot on her arm. "When he was younger we thought he had ADHD, and put him of medication, but they only made him drowsy and lethargic. We tried cutting the dosage, but even half a pill just ruined who he was. The teacher liked him calmer, and she begged that Bradyn stay on the medication.... She even bribed the children into pestering him into taking it!"<br/><br/>Teyha pressed her lips together for a moment, feeling a slight bit of aggravation at the one sided story. "Bradyn was out of control." She told Leon softly. "He broke things around the house, he acted out in school, but I'd cover for him because either way, I'd get punished... We all would."<br/><br/>"That's enough!" Teyha's mom said sharply, frowning at the girl. "You acted out, you admitted to it then!"<br/><br/>"Because it'd be ten hits if I just said I did it, but countless waiting for Bradyn to admit he did wrong!" Teyha snapped back. "Something broke, you didn't know who did it, and everyone was punished until someone confessed. That doesn't make the guilty party step forward, just the one with the lowest pain tolerance, who wants it to be over!"<br/><br/>"Hush now." The mother growled, and Teyha leaned back, closing her moth obediently. She glared at Teyha a moment more before turning her attention back to Leon. "Teyha is a manipulative little brat." She told him. "She's blamed everything on Bradyn. She wants something, we say no, and then suddenly she's attacked and calls the police, it's her way to get what she wants."<br/><br/>"That's not true!" Teyha corrected desperately. "I tell them I need things to keep myself safe, and they refuse! Simple things... Like a door that closes and locks, since mine can just push open... A bathroom lock that works, since Bradyn broke it years ago... Curtains over the window...."<br/><br/>"If we give you locks then you'll never come out!" The mother fought back, glowering. "You'd hide away in that damn room all day and all night!"
