Thirty Fourth Shot - [Voicepost//Locked to Dante]
... This is stupid. I know it's stupid. Why am I even...
*fumbling to turn off mic is heard, followed by a long pause.* I just figured... if I call you, the chances of you picking up are... well, even then, why would you listen? Hell, I know I wouldn't.
Whatever. Stupid thing isn't working right, so if it's not gonna turn off, I might as well get this over with. *awkward laughter followed by a long pause*
Look. Dante...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I let you get involved in the first place. I'm sorry that I didn't stay out of it like you wanted.
I'm sorry that I involved Hades, I know you didn't want gods interfering. I'm sorry I didn't act in any way that might *rueful laugh* even seem like I trust you.
I'm sorry that I didn't understand why you were upset. And, I'm sorry that you didn't understand why I interfered.
I'm sorry that I said a lot of horrible things to you, stuff I shouldn't have said, stuff I should have just let go.
...
I guess I should apologize for this entire post, too. I know you hate listening to it. If you even do listen to it all the way through, that is.
...Well, maybe this will be better.
I'm not sorry for wanting to help you.
I'm not sorry for caring so much, and worrying about you.
I'm not sorry that you're free from that curse. Even knowing your reasons, I just... I can't think it's a bad thing.
I just... *sigh and a pause, then more fumbling with the mic* Well, there you go.
Take it how you want. *--mic cuts out*
