[Ken bows to the device screen, worried and regretful. He would have done this in person, but he doesn't know how to get a hold of something of them.]

I wanted to apologize for my behavior this weekend. Particularly to Toph-san, Rita-san, the other girl, Lockdown-san, and Rita's other friend.

I shouldn't have used Lockdown-san as I did, as a slave. Everything.... I hope you can accept my apologies, all of you.

[Very short entry, after all, he's kind of still hating himself.]

See? That's not who you are anymore.

[Inwardly, though, she's still surprised. She didn't think it was in him to be that cruel even though he is obviously changed.]

[oceantrauma]

I know it isn't.... But I still did those things.

[Maybe a little psychologically screwed up in there? And there's the whole dark spore thing. Wouldn't Rita like to know about that.]

I became so arrogant, petty and selfish.

[Oh, Ken. Poor kid...]

You wouldn't be apologizing if you still felt that way. I said before that the City makes it hard to forget things like that, but you just have to think about the fact that you changed and why that happened. Don't dwell on the rest of it.

Alright.

...I'm actually glad you're not mad at me. I didn't want to harm our friendship.

[negativegate]

Hey, of course I'm not mad at you. Even if that was you at one time, it's the curse's fault for bringing it up now, not yours.

[oceantrauma]

I....

So that means you still want to be friends?

private; video;

[negativegate]

You don't need to ask that. We'll still be friends, got it?

Re: private; video;

[oceantrauma]

Okay.

I'd like that.

[negativegate]

Good. Me too.

Now, try and snap out of it, okay? Anyone who blames you is an idiot.

[oceantrauma]

[That makes him laugh a little.]

Not that I haven't done some stupid before. But I never would've thought of myself as an idiot.

[negativegate]

[Well, she's glad he laughs, but she'll still be concerned about him.]

If calling you an idiot is what it takes so you don't blame yourself...

[oceantrauma]

I'll probably need a little while, but I'll be okay. Thank you.

private; video;

[negativegate]

Yeah. Don't worry about it. And...feel free to call if you want to talk, okay?

private; video;

[oceantrauma]

I will. ...thank you.

private; video;

[negativegate]

Good. Take care in the meantime.

private; video;

[oceantrauma]

Of course. You too.
