...are we so sure it's over?

[private to Daniel]

I apologize for my behavior when we spoke a few days ago.

[Private to Jun]

[d_dreiberg]

I worried about you.

[Private to Dan]

[grandcrossed]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have broadcast that in the first place.

[Private to Jun]

[d_dreiberg]

I see.

[Private to Dan]

[grandcrossed]

Please don't worry if something like that happens again.

[Private to Jun]

[d_dreiberg]

Jun, I will always worry when something is going wrong with the people I care about.

[Private to Dan]

[grandcrossed]

Even when they've done nothing to deserve that kind of concern and everything to deserve the opposite?

[Private to Jun]

[d_dreiberg]

I don't think you've done anything to deserve my indifference, Jun. You're like the little brother I never had.

We all make mistakes. We're full of faults and foibles. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[Private to Jun]

[grandcrossed]

...I've done some pretty horrible things, Daniel-san.

[Private to Jun]

[d_dreiberg]

Maybe. But that doesn't change anything.

[Private to Dan]

[grandcrossed]

How can you be so sure?

[Private to Jun]

[d_dreiberg]

I have a good instinct for people.

[Private to Dan]

[grandcrossed]

I...don't really know what to say to that.

But thank you.

[Private to Jun]

[d_dreiberg]

We have to look out for each other here.

Maybe one day, you'll believe in my words. I guess we'll see.

[Private to Dan]

[grandcrossed]

...if you're going to have that much faith in me, I think you should know the whole story.

[Private to Jun]

[d_dreiberg]

You don't have to tell me anything. But I will listen, if you want.

[Private to Dan]

[grandcrossed]

Maybe I'm just trying to reassure myself that it's possible for someone to know and not hate me. Which is a bit selfish of me, I'll admit.
