Duty that ruins your afternoon and is still yours. The best of these. Keep it.
Peter is broke, late, and losing the woman he loves because he will not explain the nights. He stops. The crimes continue. The picture of him that matters is not the train fight, though the train fight is a civic miracle of ordinary people passing a body back to safety. It is a man who learns he does not get to resign from a capacity to help.
Old enough for a fight, young enough to still be forming a conscience: watch it together. Say that a gift is not a personality. It is a debt to the next person on the train.

Keep one unglamorous obligation this week after you have already decided you are too tired.

The eight
Industry
8/10
Pizza, rent, classes. The ordinary work is failing because the real work is unpaid.
Household
6/10
An aunt he tells the truth to, late. A love he thinks he has to refuse.
Piety
4/10
A moral law he did not choose.
Courage
9/10
He goes back after he has quit.
Republic
8/10
The train full of strangers carries him. That is a city behaving like a people.
Temperance
7/10
He wants a private life. The film does not call the wanting dirty. It calls the quitting impossible.
Truth
8/10
He tells Aunt May the truth about the night Ben died.
Stewardship
8/10
A power spent on people who will never know his name.
