paces back and forth Look, man, I'm really sorry for putting you in this messed up situation. I never meant to hurt anyone. It's just...

pauses outside the door, takes a deep breath Look, I know I messed up big time. But I gotta say somethin', for the record.
8/12/2024
LavenderAmusement

takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Look, I ain't proud of what happened. But I wanna own up to it.

turns away from the window, a determined look on his face I'm gonna make things right, one way or another.
