[Silence for a while, and then a quiet groan, seemingly out of nowhere; apparently Guy's gone and left Asch's journal open in case he wakes up while no one's around.]

... nngh...








...dammit...

Sure, just tell me if you want more.

[He's not sick, just tired \o]

I think I'm okay. [Sets the glass on the side table.] You look better. The experiment ended?

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Looks like it. I'm fine now, and everyone else seems to be back to normal too.

[Action]

[dissonates]

Good. [He purses his lips.] So once I'm done resting everything will be back to normal.

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I think so.

[Action]

[dissonates]

Hm. [Leans back with a sigh, eyes closing.] ....I'm sorry.

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Sorry for what?

[Action]

[dissonates]

I should've been more careful. I wouldn't have been injured if I had.

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Don't apologize for something like that....

All that matters now if you're safe.

[Action]

[dissonates]

What would be the point of returning if I'd died, though?

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

They could at least bring you back.....

[Action]

[dissonates]

But what if they altered my mind as punishment, the way they took my hyperresonance? What if I forgot something? Guy, or you...

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

There's no point in thinking about what if's, right? You're okay, so let's just focus on that.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch looks down, not pulling away.]

....Sorry. For how I acted.

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

[Action]

[dissonates]

I know that. But I'm not going to get any better if I don't take responsibility for what I do.

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Apology accepted then.

[Action]

[dissonates]

...Good to know.

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

But I'll pretty much always forgive you, so don't worry...

[Action]

[dissonates]

...Why do you put up with it? It's not as if you're spineless. I just don't understand...

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Because. What you say to me doesn't change who I am or how I feel about myself anymore. It used to make me hate myself, but I don't want that anymore.

So if you get angry at me, I either try to understand where you're coming from, or I let it go.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Silence for a while.]

I envy you for that.

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

... you do?

[Action]

[dissonates]

...You're more accepting than I am. It's easy for you to forgive people. And... you're probably happier because of it.

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I might be... but you can get there too, with time.

You just have to remember that there are people you can trust, and then it's easier to accept yourself and grow.
