Ten years ago, we dreamed of building affordable housing, Liam. Remember? We wanted to make a difference.

Dreams don't pay the bills, Ben. This city doesn't reward altruism; it rewards progress.

Progress at what cost? Evicting families to build luxury condos? That's not the vision we shared.

We're providing jobs, revitalizing the area. Some sacrifices are necessary for the greater good, Ben.

The 'greater good' shouldn't come at the expense of human dignity, Liam. I can't be a part of this anymore.

So that's it? You're walking away from everything we built? All the hard work?

I'm walking away from what *you've* built, Liam. It's not the same thing. It's not us anymore.

Years from now, what will you tell yourself about all this, Liam? Will you justify it all?

The city's always been unforgiving. It rewards those who are willing to make the tough choices, no matter the consequences.

But sometimes, the toughest choice is knowing when to walk away, before you lose yourself completely.
