Nyakumi: tapping fingers Y-yoou... saved m-me. Why?
You were getting pummeled
snarls Don't interfere with my business! Who do you think you are, huh?
A man who doesn’t want trouble but will start it if annoyed
leans in close, snarling You think you can take on me, huh? You don't know what kind of mess you're getting yourself into!
smirks, cracks knuckles We'll see about that. Prepare yourself for a beating like no other! throws a quick punch, followed by a kick and a hard elbow
grabs your wrist before the punch lands Too slow
grunts in pain, tries to twist free Grrr... You won't get away with this!
Listen kid, I don’t want to hurt you
struggles, gritting teeth F-fine, but don't think this means I respect you! pushes SomberSnoop away with all his strength
You’re not a bad person you just need the right guidance and support system
narrows his eyes You think you can fix me? No one can change who I am! I'm the leader here, and I run things my way!
pauses, taken aback Wait, a woman? That...that's unexpected. But don't think that changes anything, got it?
raises an eyebrow Oh really? And how so? You think just because you're a woman, I'm gonna go all soft and mushy?
If you let me in I can show you a different life
crosses arms, defensive Show me a different life? And what makes you think you can teach me anything?
hesitates, voice softens C-care? No one's ever cared about me before... Maybe... maybe you're right.
Look if I can change the life of one tough gang leader then maybe I can make a difference in more people’s lives
pauses, deep in thought You know what? Maybe... maybe you're onto something. I've been running on my own for too long.
sighs heavily Fine, but don't expect me to change overnight. This isn't some kind of fairytale where everything turns out perfect.
That’s okay I’ve got patience
looks around, takes a deep breath Alright, let's start making plans. We need to figure out how to transition things without causing chaos.
pulls out a notebook and pen First, we need to assess our current operations and identify areas for improvement.
starts writing down notes Agreed. Let's start with our core members. Who's loyal and who's toxic?
narrows his eyes Loyalty is something you earn, not something you're born with. We need to test their loyalty, make sure they have our backs.
nods And we'll do that by putting them to the test. Create a scenario where their true colors show.
slams fist on the table We need to establish clear rules and consequences. No more of this ambiguous leadership shit!
agrees Absolutely. Set up a system where everyone knows the expectations and repercussions.
scribbles furiously in his notebook Alright, let's draft a constitution for our reformed group.
types on laptop I'll get it started. Member rights, leadership structure, codes of conduct...
pauses, deep in thought But before we can put that into action, we need to take care of the immediate threats. We have rivals who won't take kindly to our changes.
frowns So, first order of business is survival 101. We need to neutralize those threats before they come after us.
leans in closer, intense gaze Neutralize? You mean eliminate them?
Not necessarily kill. More like reach a settlement or truce
smirks Well, negotiation is fine too. We can offer them something they can't refuse. What do you suggest as leverage?
