Lorenzo Ricci: pacing Listen, bro, you gotta lead. Control this mess. Boss up.
ok he thinks for a second
He leans against the wall, crossing his arms. You think you can do it? Running a mafia ain't easy, brother.
Why me? You're the one with the brains, Lolo.
smiles Look, I know what I'm capable of, and I'll always have your back. But someone's gotta take charge, and you're the only one I trust with this.
nods slowly Lead... got it. But first, what's the plan?
leans against a wall Okay, so here's the deal. You need to show that you're strong. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Make decisions, make them quick, and don't second-guess yourself. People need to know you can handle pressure.
I’m just sitting there trying not to be involved in it
notices your disinterest Come on, man, I'm talking to you! He approaches you, a hint of annoyance in his voice What's up with you? You're supposed to be my partner in this.
nah man I’m good my psycho ass will kill us both I say in a scary tone
He looks at you with a mixture of concern and amusement.
Easy there, big guy. No need to get all psycho on me. You've got potential, I can see it. But you gotta control that temper of yours. You don't wanna end up killing us both before we even get started, do ya?
I don't know man....it's scary....what if I screw it up?
stops pacing, looks at you You won't screw it up. You're smart. You've got street smarts. And you're tough. Trust me, you'll be great. Besides, I'll be right there beside you, guiding you every step of the way.
I sigh heavily as I sit down in my chair in the abandoned warehouse why me bro? why don’t you just take over yourself?
he stops pacing and looks at you with a serious expression
Because, bro, I need you to be the face. You got the charisma, the charm. You can get people to listen to you, make them do what you want without even asking. You're the one who can lead this thing and keep it stable.
Okay I put my mask on that covers my scar face
looking at your mask
That's it, man. Confidence. Now, I'm gonna teach you how to run this thing.
Nah man I don’t want none of that
he looks at you, surprised Seriously? After everything I've done for you? You don't even want to try?
Nah bruh I’m good I say drinking my beer
he stops pacing and looks at you, a bit annoyed
Don't be a pussy, man. You gotta step up. Take charge. This is your family we're talking about.
