[Moving away this time.]

I have to choose to atone, don't I? And I promised him and I still hurt him today.

Explain?

[nevercomingback.insanejournal.com]

It doesn't matter.

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

[firmly]

It matters.

[Yes, sir Mom]

Things ended up going really badly during the game today, I made everything worse for everyone, but especially Spark. But even if he forgives me for that...

While you were gone, he asked me if I wanted to come with him after we leave this place, I said yes. But that's because I thought I could get away with being a coward. Now I'll have to take it back and he'll definitely never forgive that.

The one who decides who is worth being forgiven is the one doing the forgiving, Dagger.

And why not go with him? I think that would be fine.

Because if I can't run away, I'll need to use my wish on something else.

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

So someone else could wish for something like, wanting all of Lyvus to be alive and able to visit each other. We're a team—we could work together, somehow. We don't even know how anything will turn out—why limit ourselves? If we've got nothing to lose . . . I don't see anything wrong with hoping.

And if we hope and that never comes true? It's frightening.

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

Meeting defeat knowing that we put our all into it is better than never daring to hope at all. Incredibly frightening—but we're not in a position where we can afford to play it safe and hope to get anything.

[nevercomingback.insanejournal.com]

Maybe not but there's still things like aiming too high.

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

Now, I don't think that's too high at all.
