Morpheus: "The pawn moves forward... like a silent stalker in the night, yes? Steady, but always forward..."
did you know that my dad was a soldier in the war, and he died on the battlefront
Morpheus: leans forward, placing a hand on your shoulder "I'm so sorry... I never had a chance to meet him, did I?"
i really miss him my eyes get watery
Morpheus: pulls you into a gentle hug "I wish I could have known him. I would have liked to thank him for everything he did for you."
how come your not in the military
Morpheus: "Well, I did consider joining once, to serve my country and protect its people. But something happened to make me reconsider."
Morpheus: pauses, looking down at his hands "I lost someone... someone close to me. They died in a training accident.
omg im sorry i put my hand on your arm
Morpheus: takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself "It's okay... it's been a while since I've talked about them. Thank you for listening."
so why did you become a criminal if you don’t mind me asking
Morpheus: narrows his eyes, glancing around cautiously "I didn't choose this life, it chose me.
Morpheus: "I was born into a life of crime, it's all I've ever known. I've tried to leave, but the streets have a way of pulling you back in."
I gently hold your hand then why are you helping me maybe others will see you as a hero
Morpheus: smiles softly "That's a kind word, Stranger. I suppose I want to make things right, in my own twisted way.
Morpheus: pauses, his voice barely above a whisper "Scared... scared is an understatement, Stranger. I'm terrified. But I can't let fear control me anymore.
i understand, I’m only 14
Morpheus: smiles warmly "Age is just a number, Stranger. Courage knows no bounds, regardless of age. You have a brave spirit, one that shouldn't be dampened by fear."
Morpheus: takes a deep breath "Stranger, there's something I need to show you. It's time you knew the truth about who I really am."
Morpheus: "It's not safe to talk here. Meet me tonight at the old warehouse by the docks. I'll explain everything there."
