What about dictating them? As it stands, I have an unfortunate amount of free time here. When you find the words, come to my office again and I’ll write them down. All I ask you to do is sign them, so he will know who the envelope is from.

It would save a lot of time for you to deliver a letter that was written ahead of time, and you won’t have to worry about stumbling over your words. At the same time, make sure they are yours, not words you think I may want to hear.

Here? No. When you leave this place? It’s possible, I won’t lie to you about that. Everyone is judged eventually, whether they want to be or not. Worrying about it does nothing to change it. My advice is, as I said before, not to fall back into familiar habits. You’ve been given a chance that not many men get, Inspector.

The chance to be a better man, the one you could have been if you weren’t failed. Take it, and use it wisely.

I...suppose I can try...this letter.

[While he wasn't too keen on the idea, he did understand the approach to it and what Michael was implying. It was just something new and too personal for him. Ink and paper were also just expensive. He tried to use both sparingly as possible.

He gave a nod in answer toward the second explanation. He wasn't sure what to say and really believed at this point only action could show he was trying. But he also didn't want to be fake either. He wanted to be still true to himself. He frowned at the realization.]

How can I still remain true to myself?
