I'd like to say, publicly, for everyone here to witness, that I'm sorry detaining Pietro and the resultant detention of his sister, Wanda, last night. I take full responsibility for it as the leader of my block in this scenario. I'd also like to apologize for my knee-jerk reactionary aggression towards Pietro yesterday. It was bad of me, to say the least, and I feel genuinely remorseful for it.
I won't make excuses and I won't shift the blame. I take full responsibility as it was my call to make. But any name cleared is a good thing in my opinion, if there's even the smallest hint of suspicion surrounding that name. I am sincerely glad to know that Pietro is innocent and I'm relieved to see that the accusations were wrong.
Pietro - I'll be in the lobby if you'd like to, man to man and brother to brother, come down and shake hands and put this behind us. Water under the bridge. We're both bigger than this, better than this, I know that and you know that. I'd just like to tell you that I'm sorry to your face if you're willing to allow that. It's all on your terms now, though, and I accept whatever judgment you make.
And to Max -
