Ethel: "Aopol isn't like desperate outlaws like us. I've seen pictures of him and his son; his face just radiates uncontrollable pride. To him, the happiest thing in the world is coming home from work every day to watch a game with his wife and kids. Precisely because of that, his desire to make it back alive is stronger than anyone's—even if we're greedy for money and reckless with our lives."
Hecate: "You make a fair point." Aopol had mentioned before that he lived off his salary. A middle-aged man risking his life just to support his family—heartwarming stories like that are so common around here that you could hit a whole platoon of them with a single brick.
Hecate: "So my current thought is that once Aopol completes this final operation, we should let him go home. I've already submitted his pension application. Now we just have to hope he doesn't end up like in the TV shows—you know, talking about finishing one last job and quitting, only to get bumped off right after."
