You know... [Guy's aware he's cutting Asch off, but there's something...heavy about their conversation. As if there were things that needed to be said. Things that Asch should hear.

Things he should have been told.]

Asch, I...it's selfish and childish of me. [Guy pauses, and settles his hands in his lap instead, threading the fingers through one another.]

I always thought...even after your kidnapping, after everyone thought you'd lost your memories...even after we found out the truth. After we learned about everything, even after that...I thought... "He has no idea what it's like." I thought that about a lot of people, that they couldn't understand. But I guess nobody ever could, if I kept it to myself.

[Guy laughs a bit, the sound quiet and ashamed.] I was such a child. I still am, really...but I'd like to think I've had some time to grow up. For a while, I wanted to ask you to forgive me; a year after Eldrant fell, actually. I wanted to ask you to forgive me, and I wanted to see Luke again.

Now, though...I don't think that's what I need at all.
