Is it really self-righteous and arrogant to be unable to look past things you can't agree with? Where do you draw the line when it comes to tolerance?

Please, call me Relena, Mr Wright.

I think... I think that you want to forgive him, but your head is telling you that what he has done is reprehensible. Unforgivable. However, I know not the nature of your relationship prior to this, so of course it is more than likely that I am wrong.

No, um... Actually, I think you hit it right on the mark.

...Mr Wright, do you believe that he doesn't feel regret for his actions? Or that he would commit such acts again? Do you think he would ever hurt you or anyone that you care about?

[attorneyatlol]

...No. I don't think he would. But it's not just me and the people I care about. I don't think I can knowingly associate with someone who has the potential to hurt others and... get pleasure from it.

Are you looking for me to justify your feelings, Mr Wright? Or are you looking for me to convince you otherwise?

[attorneyatlol]

...Neither, really. I guess I'm just thinking out loud. In text.

[Locked] fuck i lol'd. y so adorkable phoenix?

Ah, I see. Well, I'd be more than happy to help you sort through your feelings, if you wish to think aloud some more. In text, of course.

Thanks... I'm not sure what else to say, though.

What do you think of him, if you don't mind my asking?

I... believe in him. I believed him when he said that he regretted the killing and I believed him when he said that if not for the virus, he wouldn't have done it. While the idea that he could take pleasure from the act of killing makes me more than a little uncomfortable, it's a moot point since he has said that he doesn't kill anymore.

Tyki is trying to change, and hate and disgust will not help him. Neither will it bring back those he has killed.

You make a really good point, Relena. To be honest, that's... sort of how I felt about it before, but then that virus happened, and I guess I started... doubting my judgment.

Ah, yes. I can understand that. This may sound somewhat presumptuous coming from a fifteen year old girl, but you should never doubt yourself when it comes to matters such as these. You have firm beliefs, Mr Wright. A strong sense of what's right and what's wrong and I can't help but admire that. Those instincts will never lead you wrong.

Well, I wouldn't say never, but they've led me in the right direction often enough that I do put a lot of trust in them. I guess they were a little conflicted this time.

Thank you for saying that, though. I've learned a lot from people who aren't much older than you, so don't sell your opinion short.

I'm just glad I was able to help in any way.

It was truly a pleasure making your aquaintance, Mr Wright.
