I will not say anything on whatever happened; such matters are best dealt with personally. But perhaps I could remind you of our deal.

Private//Cursed

[apostleofhope]

...

Your brother?

Private//Cursed

[seeking_heat]

Yes. We're attempting our first method tonight. If it is ineffective, it will be one in many techniques we try. Should those fail, I will call you.

Y-Yeah! It's uh...it's nice to see you again..

[princess_crow]

...It wasn't your fault, Joshua.

[apostleofhope]

I'm really...getting tired of hearing that.

Do you think I say that as a broken record like the others do? Since when I am a good, comforting person?

I lived through a similar experience in my life. And I know enough of the crushing guilt you're likely feeling can't be helped. Even if everyone forgives you, you don't think you deserve their forgiveness. Because we can't forgive ourselves.

Not yet.

[lionesscouchant]

...you're Joshua, right?

[apostleofhope]

...Yes.

[lionesscouchant]

You haven't wronged me.

[apostleofhope]

Lucy, right?

Maybe not. You're lucky, I guess. We didn't talk enough for me to...take an interest in you. But I could have hurt you, and that's sort of the point.

If this is another game it doesn't sound like much fun.

[apostleofhope]

[ Oh God. He doesn't even know WHAT to say to her now. ]

It's...not a game.

[dreamsofnoah]

[Yeah, she's kind of like WTH.]

What did they do to you?

[apostleofhope]

My horns are gone. I'm 'normal' now.

...

I won't be playing anymore of those kinds of games with you.
