... But Croix... I'm not suffering because of you. I mean--obviously I must not be, not anymore. It all sounds like it's fine. Right now, I'm only suffering because of what's happening here.
More than anything... if you hadn't done all of that, I might never have inspired so many people the way I did. My shows might never have been so grand. Sure, I hurt a lot of people, too, but... belief means a lot, too, right...?
[ She wrings her hands. ]
Yes, I was hurt by it. And... I don't know if I'll ever be entirely the same person as I was before all of that. But people change. These things... happen. No one stays the same. And I've grown and learn from my mistakes. It's time you did, too. You can't... go on blaming yourself.
... So let those people be the ones to constantly remind you of how much you did wrong. Not you, not me, the people who forgive you, and should forgive yourself.

[ It's your sacred duty! ]
I can't just forgive myself like that. I'll be carrying these mistakes for the rest of my life, Chariot.
