looking at Singularity

[thinkin_arbys]

...I'll miss everyone. You already told them what you want, and what I need, but I don't think it's so easy to move on.

My family. That's what they've become.

I made my decision, though, and I will stand steadfastly by it. We both will.

My future. Our future. There's nothing to do but grit my teeth and run headfirst.

No, I will not forget you, that much has been decided from all parties.

[thinkin_arbys]

Good.

I would be lonely again, and...

[mentore]

Don't think like that. We said we would do this together, no?

[thinkin_arbys]

I know. But I expect nothing to go my way. You know this.

[mentore]

Then you work to make it go your way. Nothing is ever so easy as it seems.

Had all things gone your way, or mine, we would not have met.

[thinkin_arbys]

...That strength is part of why I love you.

I'm nervous. I'm never like this.

[mentore]

It's alright to be nervous. But I will be there with you, and I will help you with anything, however I can.

[thinkin_arbys]

It will be like starting over for me, you know.

[mentore]

Change can be good. But I felt the same many times before.

[thinkin_arbys]

I'm going back to the way I was. Paranoid... Two faces...

Can you forgive this?

[mentore]

And I will be secretive, always waiting for an attack somewhere, waiting for something to happen.

I will say what I have told you already: I can forgive you many times over, but it will not matter if you cannot forgive yourself.

[thinkin_arbys]

Will you still let me train with you? It is a large question, considering everything, but I would like to at least reach a level you can recognize as useful.

I may forgive it. I will try.

[mentore]

Of course I will train you, as you wish.

I trust you will know what to do, when the time comes, but do not be so hard on yourself. Forgiveness is hard, I know, but when you find it, you will be at peace with yourself.

[thinkin_arbys]

Grazie.

I will find my peace again, with or without you. I owe you this much.

[mentore]

That is good to hear.
