[Oh. He wasn't expecting that.]

Resent is a strong word. It's a complicated situation...obviously I don't fully understand what happened, even when it was explained to me.

But if you want to think of it that way, then...I suppose I do. I'm still unhappy with what I've learned, but that doesn't mean I wasn't going to own up to my actions regarding it.

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

Okay
I just wanted to make sure I got it.

[Right. Because most other people who know about home...]

I'm more used to hearing "Don't talk to me ever again" than the other way around.

[Even though most of them didn't even really know who he was, or...

Ugh, why is this bugging him so much?!]

<Sparkling>

[charmpagne]

Of course. And, for what it's worth...I'm sorry. Ryslig...offers us a second chance, for better or worse. Another lease one our lives for some, as it were. And you've never done anything to harm me, deliberately or otherwise.

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

But I helped hurt someone you care about.
That’s what happened, right? It was personal.

[Might as well ask. The way Sparkling’s talking, it doesn’t sound like he’s joined Giorno’s ranks in any official capacity, but who knows.]

<Sparkling>

[charmpagne]

You did, yes. I won't argue that. But I still shouldn't have gone after you over it. An eye for an eye doesn't solve anything...especially not here when such things aren't permanent anyway.

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

Well... I'm not gonna hold it against you.
Besides, you already paid for it, right?

<Sparkling>

[charmpagne]

That's right. To be honest with you, part of me was expecting it.

I was just too angry at the time to care about consequences.

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

Uh-huh.
So it's pretty much over and dealt with now.

<Sparkling>

[charmpagne]

More or less, yes.

[Abbacchio made it seem like Diavolo's word wasn't to be trusted, but...it's all he has at this point.]

<purplepiper>

[epitaffio]

Right. So...

[... How do you end a conversation like this.]

Thanks for telling me.

[This probably isn't the way to do it, but... he's got nothing.]
