[ ... Yu is quiet at that. It's Connor he thinks of -- Connor, coldly telling Senri to stand. He gets to his feet, too. ]
I'm sure this isn't what you meant, but I want to be clear. I don't think anyone who does hate him is a hateful person by nature, or close-minded. Guy... deeply hurt many people in ways they may choose not to forgive, and I won't tell them that's wrong. It's only my own personal beliefs that I speak for when I say I don't hate him.
[ a breath. ]
Guy also made his own choices. You can't control his every action.
No, I didn't mean that. As I said before, I'd never expect anyone to forgive him. I apologize for poor phrasing. The last thing I'd ever do...is begrudge anyone for their feelings.
[His voice grows small.]
At the heart of it all, I'm just afraid for my friends.
He's shattered unlike I've ever seen him shattered before. I believe...things will turn around, but it will take time, and time...there...there isn't very much of it left.

You aren't obligated to answer this, but ... Piety, are you from their world...?
no subject
Yes...but please, I've only told one other person. I don't want...to cause them any trouble.

I know. ... I understand what that's like, after all.
[ Yu breathes in slow and lets it out slower. ]
... Guy was my friend. I ... don't know how to feel about him now. But I swear to you I'll keep him safe, as much as it's in my power to do so.
