Millie looks on with worry as Moxxie steps back inside the dining room. Chaz tries to lean into Millie but jumps back when Millie growls and tries to bite him. Fearing for his best friend's safety Y/n uses Presence Manipulation to turn invisible and stay in the room. Alessio, one of Crimson's goons, closes the door behind them as they leave, leaving Moxxie and Y/n alone with Crimson.
Crimson: So...you think you're too good for this family now?
Moxxie: What?
Crimson [Sternly]: C'mere.
Moxxie approaches his father as Y/n follows and stands to the side of them.
Moxxie: I- I don't understand--
Crimson stands up and backhands Moxxie in the face, knocking him down and causing Y/n's temper to flare.
Crimson [Angrily]: You think you can just walk away from this family and never come back?! You're dead wrong, Mox! *grabs Moxxie* As a matter of fact, the only thing you're right about is that obnoxious piss-stain can't get made! Not unless he marries in!
Moxxie: "Marries?" But, but who would marry—?
Crimson: Who do you think? *lets go of Moxxie and sits back down* This family needs that money and it's about time your pathetic-ass was useful for something!
Moxxie: Sir, I'm already married. I- I can't---
Crimson: You think I give a shit about your stupid beard? C'mon Mox, I even went through the trouble of makin' the house more to... your kind's liking.
Crimson presses a button on the table and bouncing dildos appear from the dining chairs, the walls, replacing the framed severed body parts, vases, and even behind a potted plant in the corner. A party ball hanging from the ceiling opens, pouring out confetti, revealing a banner that says "CONGRATS, GAY" and a trumpet fanfare. All the while Y/n's blood begins to boil at how Crimson is treating Moxxie, his own son!
Moxxie: Wait, what? What do you think I'm into?
Crimson: What? This is the kind of shit gays like, right?
Moxxie: Okay, first off Dad, I'm bisexual.
Crimson [Shrugs]: Yeah. Gay
Moxxie: Oh, for fuck's sake! Secondly, I don't know a single person of any sexuality who would enjoy this.
Blitzo [From hallway]: Hah! There're dicks on the walls! Oh, that is fucking hilarious!
Crimson: *grabs Moxxie by the face* Look at me, kid. One way or another, you're going to do what I fucking say. Don't cross me.
Y/n came up with a plan but it was a bit, invasive, to get a better understanding of Moxxie and Crimson's relationship he decided to Enchant both of them, allowing him to access their memories. First was Moxxie's who played out before Y/n.
Y/N: Sorry Mox, hope you can forgive me for this.
At the dinner table, a young Moxxie wrestles with cutting his steak. His mother, Scarlet, intervenes, graciously taking the plate and easily slicing the steak for him. An exchange of sweet smiles ensues between mother and son, a moment of warmth disrupted by Crimson's disapproving glare. Unfazed, Moxxie proceeds to enjoy his meal.
Crimson redirects his glare toward his wife, nudging her foot with his own. Startled, she promptly withdraws her leg, adjusting her posture to sit more upright. Crimson, dissatisfied, expresses his discontent with an audible stomp of his foot.
