"You seem quite relaxed about it, but what if someone dragged you to the bathroom? Who would hear you if you screamed your lungs out? You've grown up this much, yet don't you have any sense of safety?"

Yes, why was he blaming her? She didn't want this to happen either.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten angry with you. In hindsight, it's my fault. I brought you here and didn't protect you well."
