Desiree instantly came to a realization. Just as she was about to scream, she saw Lina pulling out a gun and pointing it at her temple.

“W-What are you doing?” Desiree stammered.

“This is the gift I got for you. Do you like it?” Lina scoffed. “Even though my dad has been involved in legitimate business for a long time now, it seems like it can’t stop someone from being mean to him!”

“Lina, you—”

Lina scoffed. “Since you said I’m the daughter of a gangster, I can’t let that nickname cause me pain. Don’t you think so?”

Desiree widened her eyes, terrified.

Lina smirked, gloating as she loaded the gun. The sound echoed loudly in the empty bathroom.

Desiree screamed in fright. Her legs trembled, and she almost fell down.

“I-It was a misunderstanding!” She explained with a shaking voice. “We were all just drinking too much. Lina, I-I didn’t mean to say that. I…”

“Misunderstanding?” Lina moved her wrist to lift Desiree’s chin with the gun. “You used my fiance’s cup in front of me. Was it because you had too much to drink? You sat with Zuko and leaned close to him. Was it because you had too much to drink!?”

Desiree started sobbing instantly. She wanted to cover her head with her arms as she squatted on the ground, losing the arrogance she had shown before.
