[ xiao xingchen is not someone who feels the urge to ask questions often. not of others, and even less so of strangers. for this, however, he'll make an exception, even if the words are hard to parse. ]

I have been thinking
The people that we are in this place, the people we become —
Is there a chance in this world for those who are destined to commit evil?
Or is it futile to expect that anything will change when we return to our worlds?

And if it is futile then... does anything we do here matter?

You're allowed to not feel like yourself when you're dealing with things. I... The only person you are is yourself. You can forgive. You can do that. What anyone else does is theirs to decide, but either you want to forgive, or you don't. Being forgiven by anyone else shouldn't determine how, when, or why you forgive anyone or anything else, in my opinion.

You don't have to apologise for anything to me. You haven't done anything to me.

Thank you for the words, I will reflect on them. But I
I want to forgive.
I have forgiven.
I can only move forward now.
