Goku wakes up the next day, feeling well-rested. He stretches and gets off the couch, noticing that the place is now completely fixed, looking brand new and untouched. A satisfied smile spreads across his face as he appreciates the work done overnight. He heads into the kitchen, ready for a simple breakfast of cereal.

In the kitchen, Goku finds both Zamasu and Goku Black already at the table, sipping tea and casually reading a newspaper.

Goku (cheerful): Good morning, you two! The place looks fantastic. Great job!

Zamasu and Goku Black (respectful): Thank you, sir. It was our pleasure, sir.

Goku's friendly tone and demeanor make it clear that he has put the previous day's confrontation behind him, extending an olive branch toward his unlikely guests.

Goku goes to the kitchen cabinet, where he retrieves his favorite cereal, and grabs a bowl. He then reaches into the fridge for some milk and picks up a spoon from the sink. Returning to the table where Zamasu and Goku Black are seated, he calmly prepares his breakfast and eats while engaging in casual conversation with them.
Goku: So, what was it that upset you both so much? Did I do something to offend you, or was it someone else?

Zamasu hesitated for a moment, and Goku Black, trying to maintain a respectful and calm tone, spoke up.

Goku Black: We witnessed your battles, your apparent disregard for the Gods, and the actions of countless other mortals. We saw the recklessness and disregard for life, and we believed it was our duty to intervene in our respective timelines, to restore what we perceived as balance, sir.

Goku, while munching on another spoonful of cereal, responded casually.

Goku: Is that so?
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuzR8blSKGy
Zamasu: Yes, indeed, sir.
419Please respect copyright.PENANA2WyzgtWJHa
Goku quickly finished his cereal, placed the bowl on the table, and stood up, showing enthusiasm.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAATg6gh1DmS
Goku: Hehe! Thanks for explaining. I was just curious! Come on, let's go do something! We've got a few months until everyone gets back, so we've got this entire planet to ourselves!
419Please respect copyright.PENANAjq6FPy1BxZ
Zamasu and Goku Black: Yes, sir...
419Please respect copyright.PENANA5UTg3oBP0s
Goku grinned and tried to lighten the mood.

Goku: Aw, come on, you two! Loosen up! Just call me Goku.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAc9ooASxukg
They both nodded in understanding, finishing their cups of tea and standing ready to join Goku for some activities. They both follow Goku outside of the house and all three of them fly towards the city making conversation on the way.

Zamasu (Curious): Goku, I must admit, I find your decision rather perplexing. After all, given our previous actions, why extend such mercy?
419Please respect copyright.PENANArXQpCBkhTw
Goku (Reflective): You know, Zamasu, I've been through a lot of battles. I've faced foes that could've destroyed entire worlds, universes, even the entire multiverse. I've even gone up against threats that could unravel the very fabric of time. And, well, I can't say I've always been the type to spare my adversaries. But I've learned something along the way.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAPALLYZADx7
Goku (Contemplative): I've learned that fighting isn't just about defeating your opponent. It's about understanding them, finding common ground, and maybe even helping them become better. It's about seeing the good that might be buried beneath all that anger or hatred.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAPeSHKpybi0
Goku (Determined): So, I'm giving you guys a chance. Because I believe there's good in you, even if it's been overshadowed by your past actions. And I'm gonna do my best to bring it out. Call me naive or overly optimistic, but that's just how I am.
Zamasu (Grateful): Well, thank you... You know, you're not all that terrible yourself.
419Please respect copyright.PENANA8wuFF0VgvT
Goku Black: Our deeds, though... they're beyond forgiveness. We've committed dreadful acts for our own selfish desires.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAarZZuJ4TBH
Goku grins, his face brimming with nostalgia.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAivgpFbVNny
Goku (Reflective): Heh... Some time back, when I was just a young fighter... I found myself up against this ruthless army. They cared for nothing but themselves, causing pain and suffering wherever they went. Then, one day, I encountered someone special. His name was Android 8, a truly kind soul. He had a love and concern for all living things. And just as I was about to take down the army's leader, he intervened. Android 8 taught me a lesson I've held close to my heart ever since.

Zamasu and Goku Black lean in, hanging on Goku's every word.

Goku: He told me always to give my enemies another chance, to extend them the benefit of the doubt. To wait and see if they could change. Instead of instantly resorting to violence, he urged me to offer a chance for redemption. Even though most might not deserve it, he said, because by immediately snuffing them out, we'd be no different from them—cold and heartless.
Zamasu and Goku Black exchange knowing glances, both of them recalling their master Gowasu imparting the very same wisdom.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAHEM26HuSEJ
Goku Black (Remorseful): We understand now... Your friend was truly wise... Our master, too, instilled that lesson in us. And now... I regret the role I played in his demise. It wasn't what I wanted, but he... He couldn't grasp it... My anger clouded my judgment... I was...
419Please respect copyright.PENANAdnIk6u0Ynj
Goku (Compassionate): Hey, it's okay... I understand. I'm sure he forgives you. Perhaps he's even rejoicing that you're embarking on the path of true compassion and forgiveness. And I'm delighted as well. From this moment forward, I'll be your teacher. Both of you will be my pupils. I'll guide you along the path of enlightenment and goodness.

Goku Black sheds a tear and smiles as he and Zamasu both accept his help and guidance, and they begin their journey to the path of light.
