[64th]

Have you ever killed anyone?
Do you feel bad about it?

If things are simply that way because that is how the world works, then one can feel sad about it but it does not make sense to feel bad about it, yes? Because it could not have been otherwise.

I became the person they wanted me to be. Maybe that's the bad part.

[muscovy]

Could you have made the choice to not become that person, and would it not have caused bad things to happen to you or your family or friends?

[64th]

I don't know. Maybe. Our lives would have been very different.

[muscovy]

"Maybe"?

[Sounds like she just wants to pretend that there was a true choice.]

[64th]

[ yeah, that's actually exactly it. ]

Well I'm not psychic

[muscovy]

You don't need to be psychic to know if you have a choice or not. You just need a brain that works and is not too silly.

excuse you

[The thing with text based communication is that it makes him mostly disregard any caution that he would normally have regarding being honest with a stranger whose scariness levels (which means, their ability and will to hurt him) he doesn't know. Knowing that his big bro is here helps, too. Not that he would lie otherwise, but he might fall silent or dodge a situation.]

There is nothing to excuse me for. I simply stated the truth, yes?
