[The feed clicks on, and there's nothing but soft breathing for a long moment, before John speaks slowly, painfully.]
...the blame for this event falls solely upon my shoulders. Miss Rei, for all of her involvement, was only following my instruction.
I- I'm sorry. I know that my words don't mean much now, but I'm sorry.
[His voice breaks. He tries to take a deep breath.]
I really thought... I was just trying to help. I thought that if I could... calm the Animus from their frenzy, help them remember themselves, then they'd be less inclined to torment us. Aelia- told me that they would work with us, if Ekpyrosis was calmed. And I was wrong- I know that now, and I'm sorry.
[A soft, shuddering breath. When he speaks again, his voice is more resolute, hard.]
I have no choice but to resign from any position that I had which was affiliated with the Protection Squad, and I fully offer myself up to be imprisoned for however long the authorities see fit. My actions were independent of my positions, and blame for this should fall upon my shoulders, and not on the integrity of the protection squad, whose admirable actions saved many people during this past weekend.
...thank you.
[The feed shuts off.]
[[ooc: as the event is now over, Nat makes his apologies from his room. He's not leaving his house for awhile. ;w; Also I am now off my hiatus!]]
and everything has been a lie,
postmortis,
i made a mistake,
what is right and what is easy,
i'm sorry,
ambition is a double edged sword,
summoning is serious business,
clawing out of corruption,
how is this not about government,
the truth cuts deep,
tame the animus,
-police force plot,
vulnerable nat is vulnerable
