Richard's Song: Vigilante's Lament

Author Note: This section will be written as a script for simplicity.

(Richard sits on his bed in his hotel room, looking at a photo of him and two other masked individuals. He sets it down with a sigh as somber instrumentals fade in.)

Richard: Ever since I was a child,
I've had this instinct of what's right.
I've had a hatred for drugs and,
I've never figured out why.

I was a vigilante,
Before I died last week.
A bullet that was truly lethal,
Sepreated them and me.

(Richard looks back at the photo and sighs.)

Now I am burning in Hell,
And I have to escape.
To see them again,
Because...

(Richard gets up and puts on his outfit, prior to this wearing a pair of black pants and a grey undershirt. He puts on a bright red jacket and cleats made for running. His outfit appears more function over fashion, very mundane by Hell standards, as if to allow him to blend in and sneak up on his targets.)

I know that someday those I love,
Will go there.
That's why I must,
Get there too.

Charlie tells me not to purify,
But I can't say I agree.
Charlie doesn't know what I've seen,
In that red neck Hell.

(Richard clenches his fist and looks out over the city.)

All these worthless fucking sinners,
Are in my way.
I'll show them true Hell,
Because they...

(Richard shakes his head as if trying not to think about something.)

In my hometown the cops were crooked,
And child abuse ran rampant.
I died trying to fight such things,
And I'd do it all again.

They called me a mad man,
But it has to be done.
So just you wait Hell,
Because by my hands you'll fall!

(Richard smirks and walks towards the door to exit his room.)

But clearly I did something,
Even if I don't belong here.
But I believe Charlie helping people is good,
So I'll keep her safe no matter the cost.

If there's one thing that I've learned,
It's that I need to rely on the few I find.
I will do whatever it takes,
But I'm still going to fight...

I know what happens when I don't.
They'll take Charlie away.
And I won't let them pry away,
My only friend in this abysmal place...
