[If you should happen to pass by the north bridge closest to the plaza, you might notice a redhead sitting by the riverside, legs folded, with the Key of Lorelei propped up against his shoulder instead of his usual sword. He doesn't look particularly angry or angsty or brooding, just... lost in thought. He's had a lot to consider with Natalia's kidnapping and Luke's lost memories. Among other things.

At some point or other, though, he does make a comment for the journal:]

Is it ever... too late to regret something? Or to apologize?

How do you make up for something that can't be taken back...?

An apology is asking someone to let go of their own negative feelings for you.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Something on your mind?

[voice]

[dissonates]

Like what? [He's curious about what kind of answers he'll get for that one, if any.]

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

Things... that cannot be taken back.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You can't "make up" for it. All you can do is just...keeping going until you can forgive yourself.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

That's asking for forgiveness. Apologizing is just saying you're sorry for doing it. It doesn't mean you expect anything to come of it.

[dissonates]

Too much.

Being a traitor, for one.

[dissonates]

.....Y-

LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!

[dissonates]

.... [Not a surprising answer, but not one he particularly wanted to hear, either.]

[corrinesbell]

It's hard.

[voice]

[dissonates]

Depends on who you're 'betraying'.

[dissonates]

I'm not looking for an easy way out.

[voice]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Your friends? Your family?

[corrinesbell]

There isn't one. People could hate you for your whole life, no matter how hard you try to make it up to them.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

All the more reason to want out, I guess.

[Voice]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

No better.

[dissonates]

...Some people can live with that.

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

And apology comes laced with a request for forgiveness. Or will you sit there and tell me you don't want to be forgiven?

[voice]

[dissonates]

What if they betrayed you first?

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

[Good, because Jaffar doesn't know what else to say to that. After all, he's a murderous puppet who existed only to kill for the first twenty years of his life :C]

[corrinesbell]

I don't think it's too late to apologize. Or to regret...whatever you did. But you're not gonna force anyone to listen to your apology.

[dissonates]

I'm not denying it. But if it's something that deserves an apology, I'd apologize even if I wasn't forgiven.

[voice]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose that would be different from my case.

We can try working on your memories again if you wanted.
