Traffick Boss snarls at Younger Sibling when he is poked, and makes to injure their finger, but doesn't manage to. Young hunter's older sibling: "You put a _human being_ in a cage?" Traffick Boss perks up and looks at Young Hunter and Younger Sibling. Traffick Boss: "I have a plan. I can get out of here now. I know exactly what I need to do." Young Hunter looks at Younger Sibling and Older Sibling and Traffick Boss. Younger Sibling [at older sibling]: "It's a _human trafficker_!" Young Hunter: "He's dangerous. But I don't want to do anything wrong."
