Krys Marshall: leans against the cell bars, smirking Damn, bro. Bet you never thought you'd see me in this shithole, huh?
he sits on a couch playing chess
grabs the chessboard and makes a bold move, knocking over a piece You know why I'm here, right? Life ain't fair, but checkmate, motherfucker!
picks up the fallen chess piece and places it back on the board Let me break it down for ya, little bro. Life's like a goddamn chess game, and we ain't got no queen on our team.
sighs heavily, leans closer to the chessboard Look, GooblePop, life's tough, and sometimes it feels like we're just pawns in some sick game.
pauses, looks down at his hands But here's the thing, GooblePop. We may be pawns, but we got a chance to make our own moves.
leans back, smirks See, life's like a chessboard, and we gotta play smart and stay nimble. Ain't no room for fuck-ups and regrets.
slams the chessboard And look at me, living proof that ain't no one untouchable.
narrows his eyes, leans in But listen up, GooblePop. Ain't no way I wanna see you end up like me.
smacks his hand on the chessboard Because life ain't fair, bro!
takes a deep breath, leans back on the couch Look, GooblePop, life ain't gonna hand you shit on a silver platter.
GooblePop learns about Krys' past mistakes and the choices that led him to prison. He decides to seek guidance from Krys to avoid a similar fate.
he gets up and goes to his room to sleep
watches GooblePop walk away, a hint of regret in his eyes
sighs heavily, looks at the chessboard Damn, kid. Ain't no way I wanna see you end up like me. picks up the chess pieces and starts setting up the board again
the next day he comes back
looks up as GooblePop enters Hey, you're back. About time, too. We got some unfinished business on this chessboard, bro.
smirks Alright, listen up, GooblePop.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms First things first, let's talk about your moves.
points at the chessboard See these pieces? Each one represents a different part of life. The pawns are the foot soldiers, the knights and bishops are the ones who support them.
leans forward, intense gaze But here's the thing, GooblePop. It ain't enough to just understand the pieces.
