I've been thinking. Yes, I know that comes as a great shock to everyone, but I can actually do that, occasionally. It's been...fun playing manslave to Celes, after all that's happened, but....
But.
I'm sitting here and staring at her ring. I keep thinking about what I did to her. What I said to her. I was wrong. So wrong and so foolish. I let one of the greatest things slip through my fingers because I was afraid. That's simply what it was too. Fear. Stupid fear. I was afraid that it'd happen again. That I'd have to lose something I loved again. So I pushed her away.
And now....
I have to go to her. I have to help her. I have to apologize. What happens after that doesn't matter. I....just need to do this.
My apologies, friends, but I think I may have to leave. I have things which I need to do. Naturally, though, I shall await release from my master's service; it would be rude for a manslave to just run, wouldn't it?
