Yeah, you're right. It sucks. It's just not the same if the people who need justice aren't there to dish it out or see it happen.

Sometimes it's better that they don't.

[...Murphy :'(]

I don't see why it'd be a bad thing.

[He's been fortunate that even if he's not the one doing the beating, he's seen the people who wronged him get paid back. It's comforting, in a way.]

I just don't think that it's the kind of thing that everyone needs to see.

[Or see what it's made of the one dishing out the raw justice.]

Then I guess it depends on the type of person. Payback's important where I come from.

Where I come from it just gets even more people hurt. Can't speak for each case though.

[If he thinks about it, he can see Murphy's points. A lot of the guys who get whacked and deserve it still have innocent families; that's a sour reality he usually tries to ignore.]

It'd make everything easier if people could just learn from the one guy who screws up and gets his face kicked in and not be assholes.

Wouldn't it? God, I wish things could be easier.

Yeah, me too. But there's a fat chance of that ever happening, people will always find ways to mess with you.

[Like Murphy needs anyone telling him that.]

Yeah, no shit. Just need to take a look around to figure that one out.

Right... I'm just kinda surprised this place has already shown it's just as bad as home in that way.

Think the sooner you give up on finding a place that's better than home, the better.

I have, I guess.

[Obviously no place can be better than home; despite it being a harsh world, his Family's there. That sentiment's too sappy to share with someone he doesn't know well, so Firo keeps it to himself.]

Really? But didn't you say you'd be fine if you wound up somewhere other than home?

[By Firo's logic, somebody would only want to leave their home if elsewhere were better. Unless maybe Murphy means that everywhere is awful, home included.]

My home life is about as much of a mess, if not more. I'm not holding my breath on finding someplace that's better, just anywhere that's not here or there.

[He has mixed feelings about the whole matter altogether, in any case.]

Damn. I'm sorry. It must be pretty bad there.

Back where I'm from, it can get pretty bad, but there are still good people.

[He doesn't mean that last part as a way to rub it in, but as an explanation.]

[Fortunately, Murphy doesn't take it as rubbing in.]

All the good people I know just seem to wind up dead because of the bad people.

[Well.]

Almost.

[Firo's starting to realize that this guy really has it rough.]

I'm sorry.

You can't really forget about stuff like that, but you can find other good people somewhere. So you won't be alone.

I think.

[As far as motivational words go, Firo's pretty sure those are some of the most useless put together. He tried.]

You seem pretty optimistic on the matter, all things considered.

[Though complaining? Murphy? Hardly. It's actually a refreshing change of pace asides from "OH GOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE."]

I just got lucky with this stuff before.

Well.

Good on you, then.

Thanks.

Not trying to sound like a jerk about it, just saying not to give up.

[He's still unused to texting and can't tell if Murphy was being sarcastic or genuine.]
