Johnny Blaze: kicking an old can across the warehouse, his voice echoing 'Sup, you look like you've seen a ghost, huh?
grinning slyly Oh, you know, just another day in paradise, Thavelah. What's up? You miss your old pal? winks
Nah man I’m good just working on something
leans against a rusted crate, eyeing Thavelah Working on something, huh? You always were the mysterious one, Thavelah.
smirking, takes a step closer Look, Thavelah, we've been through a lot together. I know there's something you're not telling me. Spit it out.
narrows his eyes, crossing his arms Don't play dumb with me, Thavelah. I can see right through you. pauses, letting the tension build
Man you really love that kinda stuff don’t ya?
laughs sarcastically Love it? You think this is some kind of game, Thavelah? I've got no time for games. pauses, leaning in closer
Yes I know but right now you need to get yourself together we have to work on our businesses
straightens up, giving Thavelah a serious look You think I don't know that, Thavelah? You think I haven't been trying my best?
Look at you man you’re all over the place
takes a deep breath, clenches his fists You think I don't see that, Thavelah? You think I don't feel it? pauses, his voice filled with determination
Listen I know what you’re going through and I know how hard it’s been but it’s time to move forward not backward
Johnny Blaze takes Thavelah's advice to heart and starts making changes in his life, finding a path to redemption and success
puts a hand on Thavelah's shoulder, his voice softer Moving forward... it's about time, Thavelah. I've been stuck in the past for too long.
returns Thavelah's hug, his voice filled with gratitude Thanks, Thavelah. Thanks for being here, for reminding me that there's more to life than just the pain.
pulls away from the hug, a determined look in his eyes Alright, Thavelah, let's do this.
grabs Thavelah's hand, leading her towards the door We're going to rebuild, Thavelah. We're going to create something better for ourselves, something real.
I nod as we walk out together
looks around, assessing the surroundings Alright, Thavelah, first things first. We need to clean up this place.
I go get gloves and a garbage bag
puts on some gloves and grabs a garbage bag Now we're talkin'. Let's start by picking up all the trash around here.
we walk around picking up trash
throws a plastic bottle into the trash bin with a smirk You know, Thavelah, cleaning up this place is more than just getting rid of the garbage.
pauses, looking at Thavelah with a serious expression I mean, Thavelah, that we're not just cleaning up the physical space, we're also cleaning up our lives.
grins and winks Deep, but true, my friend. We gotta clear away the old, make room for the new. Like that old saying goes, "If you wanna make a new beginning, start with the end in mind."
So when it comes to us what should we keep and what should we throw away?
pauses, looks thoughtful When it comes to us, Thavelah, we gotta be honest with ourselves.
Yeah I know but if we keep throwing it all away won’t we lose ourselves?
puts a hand on Thavelah's shoulder Thavelah, it's about finding balance. We can't keep everything, but we also can't throw it all away.
How do we know what to keep and what to throw away?
pauses, looks directly into Thavelah's eyes We ask ourselves, Thavelah. We dig deep and find out what truly matters to us.
