So... Listen, I need to apologize to people for what happened last month. The whole 'hey there's young idiot Tommy being an asshole' thing. And the neglecting my work while that was happening.

I dealt with a lot of BS magic shit when I was younger that I had a lot less explanations for and so I didn't trust shit well.

Teach me to be careful what I say.

Anyway, if you need me to do something to, like, make it better, let me know. I don't remember all of the shit that happened or who I saw.

I mean, in a way it was me. Just me before now.

[haruine]

Oh, I'm not quite certain I understand.

[doubled_speed]

It was a younger me. So it WAS me, but me at 17.

[haruine]

Ah, I still don't quite see why you should blame yourself entirely. I think we were all very different when we were a bit younger.

[doubled_speed]

I was a lot more of a... well, rebel with a cause? Is that a thing?

[haruine]

I think it certainly is. I might even classify my friends and I as rebels with a cause. Is that such a bad thing to be?

[doubled_speed]

Dude, adults HATE that.

[haruine]

That's because the cause is usually something that directly opposes them.

[doubled_speed]

It opposes things that are WRONG. There's a difference. Their fault for standing in the wrong palce.

[haruine]

I would say that's very true. If they weren't doing something wrong in the first place it wouldn't be an issue. Though adults never quite see it that way, do they?

[doubled_speed]

No, they really don't. But I guess that's what super heroes exist for.

[haruine]

Are you a real superhero in your world?

[doubled_speed]

Yep. Of course I am. Why would I claim to be without being that?

[haruine]

A fair point! I'm sorry. It's just I've always greatly admired the ones we have on tv, we only have those, not real ones. You're quite the impressive person to be one for real!

[doubled_speed]

I like you. The compliments are so worth it. But helping people is what my powers are for, you know?

[haruine]

Thank you! I like you too! Especially with a sentiment such as that. That's so very admirable.

[doubled_speed]

Not a lot of people call me that. Thanks.

[haruine]

Really? That's very difficult to believe. I cant imagine why others wouldn't see you that way as well.

[doubled_speed]

They've met me?

[She is getting a bad idea of him. Or maybe he doesn't judge himself well.]

[haruine]

But, I've met you as well and I think you've displayed admirable traits so far. So, perhaps they're wrong.

[doubled_speed]

... or maybe you see too much good in others?
