My brother had warned me several times, my older brother, several times to be careful. And... My brother was mad that he was on drugs. Be careful in what way? Like, he's toxic. Manipulation? Manipulation. He's going to put women in front of you. Like, be careful with him. What do you mean he's going to put women in front of you? Like, if I have an argument with my stepmom.
