"I mean, I'd definitely like something more hands-on than being a cautionary tale." Not going to the meeting hadn't even occurred to him: the meeting was about him. His shitty actions, his reward for them. Is it even a service, showing off what you can get for a theft that didn't even have real consequences for either party? He's going to have to find a way to lock up his house, or at least the important shit in the piles of junk.

"Was I very--" he purses his lips, considering the question. It's such a fucking trip, having to ask people what he was like. The past, the roads not taken--those aren't for him to know even with his powers. "Was I big on community service, before?"

It's part of a larger question, and one he might have to pose to more people: how different is he now?
