Prove it then, show me the steps you'll take.
narrows eyes, leans back "Fine, I'll prove it. But don't expect me to go soft.
Whatever else you want to do, just stay out of trouble.
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, listen up. First, I need to lay low for a while, keep a low profile. No more bar fights, no more shady dealings.
do whatever you want but stay out of trouble
scribbles in the notebook Next, I gotta find a way to channel this energy of mine into something productive. Maybe start working out, hit the gym every day. And no more underground fights, that's a dead end.
flips through the notebook Alright, so far so good. Now, I need to find some legitimate work to replace my old gigs.
slams the notebook shut, leans back "Alright, job hunting it is. But don't think I'm gonna turn into some nine-to-five slave overnight.
stands up, paces the room Job hunting's gonna be a pain in the ass, but I ain't one to shy away from a challenge.
Over the next few weeks, Morgan struggles to find a legitimate job and ends up going down a path of scams and deceit, leading to financial trouble and strain on Theridsr's relationship.
pauses, looks down Look, I... I've been doing some thinking. Maybe I can try to make things right, somehow.
takes a deep breath I've been looking into community programs, maybe some vocational training or mentorship.
leans forward, earnest Look, I know I messed up, and I can't change the past. But I can work hard, put in the effort to make things right.

scribbles furiously Okay, got it. Gonna need to submit an application for this vocational training program at the local community college.
Oh, and did you talk to your gang about stopping the attacks on our building?
pauses, looks away Yeah, I talked to them. They were skeptical at first, but I convinced them to call off the attacks. It wasn't easy, but I did it.
stands up, determined Alright, now that we've got a plan, it's time to execute. I'll gather all the necessary documents and submit my applications today.
starts rummaging through drawers, pulling out documents Let's see... birth certificate, social security card...
Do you even have those though? You’ve been in jail
pauses, eyes narrowing Dammit, you're right. Those fuckin' documents are probably long gone.
looks them up on a computer Found them!
leans forward, hopeful You found them? Give 'em here. Let me see.
quickly scans through the documents, then sighs Hmph, not bad. Seems like they're still in good shape.
