Two days has passed, you weren't allowed any access to the internet or the television for 72 hours. This is because Lanette tries to reduce the risk of you fainting from stress again.

For some unspoken reason, he didn't allow you to play the pre-existing games in his or your phones.

After Lanette learned that Tony was feeding you exaggerated scenarios and reactions from the public, (Well, they aren't exactly 'exaggerated', per se...) all calls from or to anyone working in Motel Motel needs to be placed in speaker mode.

Tony, Mike, Karen and Linda were informed of the new condition Lanette given. Therefore they wouldn't dare to speak like how they normally would to you. If there was something Lanette didn't like to hear, he would interrupt and threaten to get Motel Motel closed down.

Now, phone calls with Tony goes like this:

"How's a goin, (y/n)?" It would always sound forced.

"Ehh, pretty bad. Feels like I'm back in prison cause my calls are bein' monitored by some control freak whom I shall not name cause' he'll get all pissy." Lanette would roll his eyes at you as you stuck your tongue out at him.

"Ah ha ha. R-right."

"Any updates on my situation?" You would ask, eyeing Lanette carefully. Likewise, he'll stare at you intensely.

"...is your supervisor still there?" Tony would respond in a hushed tone.

"Oh no shit, Tony. He's constantly on my dick—" Lanette would smack you on the arm for saying such obscene remarks.

"How vile!" Lanette would whisper harshly to you as you grit your teeth.

"You're killin' me, Lanette!" You would yell back at him and hurt him deeply. Why? It's because you stopped calling him 'Volcano'.

"Hey uh, I got um... some stuff to do. Talk to ya later, (y/n)." The call would usually end there.

He's driving you to the brink of insanity. You're bored out of your mind, but you couldn't walk around because he wouldn't allow you to do so and you couldn't overpower/outsmart him.

"Two can play at that game." You thought to yourself.

Lanette tried his best to entertain you by striking up an conversation, introducing some board games, teach you how to knit, play the viola for you, bring you into the world of gardening and many more. However, all of them backfired.

Every conversation ended with an argument or a fight, which caused both of you to drift further apart. No matter how innocent the topic may be, you perceived it as a personal attack towards you.

As for board games, you weren't interested in chess. You flipped the whole board on him when he's explaining about the rules. The same thing happened with connect five, checkers, scramble and battleboat.

Though, you weren't that stupid. When you flipped the whole thing on him, you made sure that it doesn't leave any bruises on his slightly bandaged but still beautiful face.

As for the card game, Tres, you repeatedly spilled them on the ground, claiming it's an 'accident'.

He tried to teach you how to Knit. It didn't end well because you managed to 'ruin'  three whole balls of yarn and break both, his bamboo and metal knitting needles. It baffled him to no end, how could you muster that much of energy and strength to rip two metal sticks into four?

As for the Viola playing, he stopped because you kept on referring it as a 'mini guitar' or a 'clarinet'. It frustrated and infuriated him very much.
