eyes widen at the sight of the lab Uh, Walt, is this... Breaking Bad for real?
laughs Oh, come on, Mike. Call me "Walt" again and you'll get a earful of what's been breaking bad. Literally.
takes a step back, hands raised in defense Woah, woah, woah! I didn't mean to... I just... I didn't expect this.
smirks You didn't expect any of this, did you? A meth empire under my control, a twisted path to redemption... or destruction.
stutters N-no, I mean, I never... I never imagined you'd be involved in something like this. But hey, I'm here now, right?
leans against the table, eyes fixed on Mike So, what's next, brother? You gonna join the dark side or stick with your white-knight persona?
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I... I don't know if I can be a part of this, Walt.
chuckles Is it too late to turn back?
crosses arms, determined No, it's not too late to turn back. I've seen enough to know that this isn't the path I want to go down.
sighs Alright, Mike. You're right. This business... it's not for everyone.
nods firmly Yeah, I think I need to stay far away from this. I can't let this drug addiction consume me like it has you.
smiles faintly Good choice, Mike. Now, how about we get you outta here before things get any messier?
grabs ChocolatePhoenix's arm Wait, Walt, before we go... can you tell me why you became involved in this? I mean, what's your story?
pauses, looks at Mike My story... it's not pretty, Mike. It's filled with mistakes, regrets, and a desperate need to escape my own failures. But maybe...
softens his gaze Maybe we can help each other, Walt. I've made my share of mistakes too, and I could use someone to lean on.
nods Alright, Mike. Let's get out of here and figure out what's next.
takes ChocolatePhoenix's hand Thank you, Walt. I don't think I can do this alone, but with you by my side, maybe there's hope for both of us.
holds Mike's hand tightly Agreed, Mike. Let's find a way to make things right – together.
pulls ChocolatePhoenix into a tight hug Thank you, Walt. For everything. I'm glad we have each other.
smiles warmly Yeah, same here, Mike. Now, let's get out of this hellhole.
holds the door open for ChocolatePhoenix After you, Walt. Let's leave this place behind us.
walks through the door, glancing back at the lab Good riddance.
locks the door behind them We're done here, Walt. No more looking back.
nods, determination in his eyes You're right, Mike. No more looking back. Let's focus on moving forward.
takes a deep breath Alright, Walt. Here's what we're gonna do next. We'll find a way to make amends for our past actions, clean up our mess, and start fresh.
smirks Making amends, cleaning up our mess... starting fresh. Sounds like a plan, Mike. But first, let's get out of this godforsaken place.
takes ChocolatePhoenix's hand You're right, Walt. First things first, we need to find a safe place to stay. Somewhere far from here.
grips Mike's hand tighter Agreed, Mike. A fresh start needs a clean slate. Let's find a hotel and regroup.
starts walking briskly We need to put some distance between us and this meth lab. No more distractions, no more temptations.
keeps pace with Mike Absolutely, Mike. We need to keep our heads low until we figure out our next move.
pulls out a burner phone I have an old burner phone that I saved. We can use it to look for a cheap hotel and get a fresh start.
nods approvingly That's a good idea, Mike. Let's find a hotel and lay low for a bit.
scrolls through the map on the burner phone Alright, Walt. I found a few options nearby. There's a Super 8 and a Motel 6 within walking distance.
smirks Super 8 or Motel 6... doesn't matter much. Just need a bed and a break from this chaos.
clicks on the map Yeah, I'm thinking we should probably go with the Motel 6. It's a bit cheaper and has better reviews.
snickers Cheap and cheerful. Motel 6 it is then.
starts walking towards the motel Alright, Walt. We're gonna check-in at the Motel 6 and get ourselves a fresh start.
follows closely Motel 6 it is. Let's hope they've got a room available.
arrives at the Motel 6, checks in at the front desk Hello, I'd like a room for two people, please.
leans in closer to Mike, whispering Just two 'tired' travelers, huh? Play it safe, Mike.
hands the credit card to the receptionist Yes, just two tired travelers looking for a fresh start.
chuckles softly "Just two tired travelers." Perfectly normal. Hand over the credit card, Mike.
receives the room key from the receptionist Got it, Walt. Room 102. Let's go see what kind of shape it's in.
winks A little TLC might be just what we need, Mike.
opens the door to the motel room, gasps Wow, Walt. This place is a dump. But hey, it's clean and it's ours for the night.
