You are not. This is not a formal trial.

But you and I both know full well that you have not led a life without regrets, Yue.

[ it's a cooler, more distant tone than Katou's used to from him, but it couldn't be called truly cold or detached. it's a sort of neutral, without actually abandoning familiarity.

rather, he's calm. ]

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

Of course not. Should I start from the beginning, then? I hope you've got enough time.

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

I have time.

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

Alright... Well, if "sins of the parents" count, then I'm off to a really excellent start. Child of adultery! I've lied, I've cheated. I've stolen, I've caused fights... Did so much drugs and alcohol, you wouldn't even believe it.

[ He pauses, trying to make a cigarette. Sadly, that fails. He takes a moment to pout before adding: ]

Well, you might believe it.

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

Is that all you have done?

[ not in a dismissive way, so much as expectant ]

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

Of course not, that's just a precursor. I definitely killed a whole bunch of angels while we were fighting, that's gotta count extra for sins. Is premarital sex a sin? Because let me tell you, I'm not exactly a sex maniac, but I've definitely gotten laid.

[ He's absolutely hedging around the sin he doesn't want to admit out loud at this point. ]

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

[ he's just gonna keep waiting and listening ]

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

...I feel as though I'm forgetting something...

[ (He can't remember kidnapping Sara anymore.)

After a moment, Saber sighs and shakes his head. ]

....what I did to my sister definitely counts....

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

Go on.

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

Probably that one's the worst of it. My biggest regret.

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

[ he waits ]

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

[ He's quiet for a moment. ]

...Why are you asking, anyway?

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

You cannot continue to simply ignore your past regrets.

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

Maybe not, but I'm very willing to try.

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

I should say, rather, that I will not condone it.

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

What's the point in looking at it now? It's not as if I can apologize.

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

That is true. But atonement is for your own soul as well.

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

[ He murmurs, almost to himself. ]

....I wonder about that....

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

[ just looks at him ]

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

....It's nothing.

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

Nothing is insurmountable, though it may be long and arduous. Confess, and repent for your mistakes.

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

Let me ask you this: Are there things you believe people can't step back from? Does being sorry and wanting to do better.... does that honestly make up for your sins? It doesn't erase those things. Can you ever fully atone for those things?

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

So long as a person repents with sincerity, it may be with their death alone, but atonement can be found.

Re: 1.

[autorejoin]

....With their death alone, huh?

Re: 1.

[decomposed]

[ he lowers his head, in half a nod. ]

But whether you are forgiven is not within my control.
