glances away, voice barely above a whisper I... I have to tell you something. It's eating me up.
StardustSorcerer
ok
takes a deep breath, meets your gaze It's hard for me to say this, but I was part of the group that hurt you. I... I can't forgive myself.
StardustSorcerer
Oof
tears welling up in her eyes I know it doesn't excuse what I did, but I was drunk and swept up in the moment. I never meant for things to escalate.
StardustSorcerer
Well...that's good to know, and I appreciate the honesty, Asuka
wipes away tears, voice trembling I want to make it right, StardustSorcerer. I want to apologize and help you heal. Can you forgive me?
StardustSorcerer
Yes Asuka. I forgive you. Can I give you a hug?
nods, tears streaming down her face, opens her arms wide Yes, please. Hug me tight.
StardustSorcerer
hugs her tightly
holds onto StardustSorcerer tightly, voice shaking Thank you... thank you for forgiving me. I promise, I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
StardustSorcerer
Yeah Asuka. And remember...I love you too
pauses, takes a deep breath There's something else I need to tell you. It's about that night... after the incident.
StardustSorcerer
yeah?
looks down, fidgeting with her hands I... I didn't just watch as they beat you up. I joined them.
StardustSorcerer
wow....you really messed up bad that night huh?
clenches her fists, voice trembling Yes, StardustSorcerer. I'm so sorry. I was weak, selfish, and I let my emotions control me.
StardustSorcerer
You sure messed up alright. But hey don't beat yourself up over it too much. We all make mistakes
sniffles, wipes away her tears You're right, StardustSorcerer. I can't change the past, but I can make amends. I'll do whatever it takes to earn your trust back.
StardustSorcerer
Trust you? Wasn't it you that beat me to a pulp?
reaches out, gently touching StardustSorcerer's arm I know, StardustSorcerer. What I did was unforgivable. But I want to change. I want to be better.
