What of forgiveness, though?

[tenkai_soul]

...

[angelic_lawyer]

You don't believe in it? That sinners can be forgiven, are forgiven. Not always, but it's surprising what sorrow and guilt can do.

[tenkai_soul]

I'm not forgiven, because I don't forgive myself.

[angelic_lawyer]

It's amazing how often that is the case.

[tenkai_soul]

Maybe...maybe if my situation was different. Maybe if I wasn't forced to carry this, it wouldn't be this bad, but...

[angelic_lawyer]

Forced to carry? You're only forced to carry what you choose to carry. What you choose to accept as a burden, what you choose to repent for, to move on from.

[tenkai_soul]

Of course...you don't get it.

[angelic_lawyer]

You'd be surprised. I'm allowed my own opinions on the matter, though.

[tenkai_soul]

I didn't choose to cary this burden. No one chooses a True Rune.

[notquitefallen]

Ah, but it doesn't take a murder to need forgiveness.

[angelic_lawyer]

Of course not.

[notquitefallen]

I'd expect that from you.

Forgiveness from others is worthless anyways. Despite what horror movies would like you to think, grudges can't be held past the grave. It would only be for selfish piece of mind.

[angelic_lawyer]

Am I that predictable?

Of course. The only forgiveness one ever truly needs is the forgiveness of oneself. Atonement is only ever meant for oneself. Forgiveness from others does nothing for you as a person if you cannot forgive yourself.

[notquitefallen]

Very.

Have I ever told you that I like the way you think?

ooc: holy shit what is that, if she going to eat me

[angelic_lawyer]

I find that slightly disappointing, to be honest.

It seems you have now.
