So far, Riz has been rather feisty -- combative even. But part of that had perhaps been that there had been somewhat of a guideline for him to follow. All he had to do was call his parents' number and it would be okay. That's why he had learned it, after all.

Now that that has proven to be ineffective, he's suddenly at a loss. And unfortunately for Boober, said loss is starting to manifest in the way it often does in children.

First Riz's lip screws up, his breath starting to hitch a little as big tears start to gather at the corner of his eyes.
