Many of my favorite stories center around what it means to be a good person, redemption, and ethics. Upon finishing a quote from The Good Place (of all places) popped into my head.

“It turns out life isn't a puzzle that can be solved one time and it's done. You wake up every day, and you solve it again.”

I would die for Lee, and I would happily read an entire book of him and Sam chatting about life.
