"You're throwing away a good opportunity for a pointless dream."

"Dad also thought being a hero wasn't a dream."
"......don't do that."
"Don't do what?"
"Speak about our father that way."
"What's so bad about it? He tried to play hero and stop a random mugger. It ended up with him, Mom, and our unborn sister to be killed."
"And who was it that saved you?! Me! I shielded you with a steel shield and bought enough time to make the mugger run away rather than kill us."
"....."
"....I know you hold a grudge about it, little bro, but you can't disrespect our elders like that."
".....I haven't been the same since it happened, I'll hold the bastard accountable for years to come, YOU HEAR ME?! FOREVER!!"
"....."
".....If you keep following down the path our father followed, you'll meet the same dead end and not only put yourself, but those you love at risk."

"....you've always been like that. Ever since it happened.....an innocent looking turtle, but if you pull on its tail you'll come to find out its a snapping turtle...."
