[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...?

I guess... it can be, but it's never too late to try. You won't know if it has a chance to make an impact until you do.

... I'm not sure, really.

...Hm. [He's gonna mull that over for a moment.] What if you're never forgiven?

[Voice]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

What's with the heavy questions?

[Voice]

[dissonates]

I'm allowed to ask questions if I want.

[Voice]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Those are three different questions entirely. But still, sulking about in the rain's hardly the way to go about it.

[It's supposed to rain today, after all.]

[Voice]

[dissonates]

[fffff actually the day's almost over so it's mostly done by now. :|]

I'm not sulking. And the weather doesn't bother me.

[And Jaffar cam across this by complete chance. Well, that is to say... he's doing his nightly search for Nino on the network here, and comes across this. Somehow this questions strike home to him. He's going to just... stare at the page though. The journal probably picks him up in his little tent in the dessert]

[Asch isn't really the type to speak unless spoken to, but he does glance over at the slight sound of... something. What's with the desert view?]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's ever really too late to apologize or anything, but there are definitely things you really can't ever make up for.

[voice]

[dissonates]

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

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Something on your mind?

[dissonates]

Too much.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

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

[dissonates]

.....Y-

LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!

[corrinesbell]

It's hard.

[dissonates]

I'm not looking for an easy way out.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[He's totally expecting to be snapped at again, but... oh hell.]

Asch... I'm sorry about the other day. You were right, I need to find some way to stop Ratatosk.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

[Asch doesn't answer for a while. It's tempting to snap, since he has his own problems, and dealing with Ratatosk is the last thing he wants to do, but... well, this is the most intelligent thing Emil's said for a long time.]

...At least you acknowledge that now.

[Y hallo thar, Asch, have a stalker Melodist.]

Unfortunate as it may be, I don't there is a way.

[dissonates]

[God, Tear, such a lurker. Asch glances back at her, brows furrowing.]

That's what everyone's been saying.

[Voice]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[Long pause, then a soft sigh.]

...I don't know if you can. You just have to find a way to live with yourself and try to be the person that would never do such a thing again.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

That's the general consensus. [You can't really be disappointed by something you already knew, too.]

[voice]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[...this guy sure sounds serious.]

Man, that's a toughie. Guess all you can do is keep on kickin'. If it's that important to ya, then give it your best shot, I guess.

[voice]

[dissonates]

[.......What in god's name is that.]

[Voice]

[blondexena.livejournal.com]

If you ever figure that one out, let me know.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

Looks like everyone's trying to find out.

[chikyu-sakura.livejournal.com]

...

It is better to regret what is done than regret what is not done...

[dissonates]

...So you'd regret not feeling regretful? [What, paradox.]

[kuroneko-13.livejournal.com]

No. No.

Keep going 'til the guilt lets up and you forgive yourself.

[dissonates]

I don't think guilt gets better over time.
