When you graduate, you can have my deal, if you want it.

From:

stressingwitchface

...What's the catch?

From:

abrightboy

There's no catch. Graduating is hard and you're not going to like all the work we have to do.

From:

stressingwitchface

I don't shy away from hard work.

But I don't understand why you would give up your deal. Don't you know you can do practically anything with it?

From:

abrightboy

Yes. But I only came here to help people. I don't need a reward for it. A graduating inmate deserves it more. So they can take full advantage of their second chance.

From:

stressingwitchface

So there's nothing in your life, your world, you wouldn't change for the better.

From:

abrightboy

It's not that I don't have anything that I would change. It's that I think the inmate deserves the chance more. For the work they have to do to get there.

From:

stressingwitchface

But that means you aren't invested! I'm working to gain my freedom and eventual return from death, but you're doing this for..what, for fun?

From:

abrightboy

[He blinks at her.]

...No. It's actually very rarely fun. I do it because I want to help you. Why is that not motivation? Do you know what it feels like to know you genuinely helped someone?

From:

stressingwitchface

No! The only ones who do anything for anyone for no reward are gullible fools. And you're obviously not one, so please just tell me what you're getting out of this so I won't have to worry.

From:

abrightboy

...Would you be willing to do an exercise so you can believe me?

From:

stressingwitchface

I..suppose.

From:

abrightboy

I want you to do something kind for someone else this week that doesn't benefit you directly, then come have another hot chocolate with me and tell me about it.
