Hi Drippy. [ Hawks waves in a friendly manner because it's the nice thing to do to acknowledge someone. ] Sorry to hear you're having a rough time with it.

[ He smiles and softens his expression. ]

Violence is useful in measured actions, and I didn't say no consequences. There are always consequences. But people can change. Bad actions don't make people a bad person. Most people who get tangled up in things are desperate, that's why it's not right to just eliminate the problem, not when they can have the chance to turn over a new leaf and do something different with their lives.

[ He's so genuine about that, such a bleeding heart. ]
