[ is this guy... ]

Who are you?

I suppose I don't really understand the purpose to this conversation, if you already know everything. Is there something you want me to admit to? ... If you want another apology, then I'm more than happy to supply as many as it takes. And even then, I already know I'm undeserving of forgiveness.

[castigatory]

I was bluffing.

But if you'd like to admit to something, I'd be more than happy to lend an ear. Sometimes the way to enlightenment is through confession, wouldn't you agree?

[threewishes]

Hahaha. I should have realized sooner; it's silly of me to be caught up in something like this. I would blame extenuating circumstances for my gullibility, but I think that it really boils down to my own stupidity.

Thank you for the willingness. I'm not sure how much further I can be "enlightened", however, and I would hate to burden you with a sob story.

[castigatory]

You probably should have, but given the content of my original messages I can see how it might cause some confusion. I would apologise, but I had a task to complete and I have done so.

In lieu of an apology, all I can do is offer you the chance to speak. We all have our stories, yours would have no effect on me. The burden will always be yours, whether you choose to share it or not.

1/2

[threewishes]

That's true, isn't it? And I wouldn't wish to share the burden with anyone else; this is just. [ ... ] Admittedly, I'm impressed with your wisdom, in that my words have yet to deter you from being willing to listen.

[ ah. but why is she hesitant to tell others about this in the first place? because she's selfish, and wants to project a false image of goodness. she doesn't want others to treat her differently than that, and continue to revel in what's untrue. it's not even about "feeling better" (had never been); it's about being unwilling to bear a mark of sin.

she laughs at herself, and the ridiculousness of this. to think, it arose because this mysterious stranger had a task to complete — a mere task! — and she'd been the random recipient. fascinating. ]

[threewishes]

Well, I won't bore you with the details, at least.

In conclusion, I feverishly prayed for harm to befall others. The circumstances of why are irrelevant; no matter them, this is unacceptable. Beyond unacceptable— immoral. These wishes of mine were granted. ... And it isn't something that I don't regret daily; I would like to think, perhaps, clichely, that I've since seen the error of my ways.

extra sorry, late for life; feel free to ignore!

[castigatory]

Some sort of selfish motivation, I'm assuming; but the fact that you show some semblance of remorse is enough to show that you took something away from your actions.

[ There's a few moments before another message comes. ]

If given the chance would you do it again?

also late

[threewishes]

You would be correct in that assumption. But haha, I would like to think so. The absolute best that could come from that sort of situation is that I did, indeed, learn something.

[ another pause. it's a pretty heavy topic, so it's justified for both of them. ]

No. While I may still indulge those abhorrent thoughts from time to time, as is in my nature, acting on them is something I know that can never, ever, happen again.

[castigatory]

I think it's safe for you to say that you're less of a hopeful cliche and more of a success story, wouldn't you?

None of us are free of dark thoughts, it's the way that one responds that sets them apart from the monsters of the world.

[threewishes]

Is that what you think? Why, because I'm trying to be realistic about the situation...?

... That's true, too. And I have to say, you've provided me with a solid views regarding this, kind sir— for that, and to show my appreciation, I believe I'm obligated to thank you. So, thank you.

[castigatory]

Yes, exactly.

It's no trouble, so you shouldn't feel obligated to thank me. It is, however, the polite thing to do and I find that I'm rather fond of well-mannered children.

[threewishes]

Politeness, too! There were a multitude of reasons, I suppose.
May I have your name? If your phone didn't already spoil you on this, I'm Kanbaru Suruga. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!

[castigatory]

Gamagoori Ira.

This whole thing has been rather enlightening and a pleasure for me as well, I'll look forward to hearing from you again in the future, Kanbaru.
