So. Apparently leaving isn't an option.

Anyone care to explain to me why everyone was so insistent that I do it if you had any idea I'd only end up right back where I started?

	Damned if I do; damned if I don't. If you're not working toward a goal, what's the point of doing anything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then the point is being honest with yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I am honest with myself. I understand what has lead me to the place that I am. I understand every twist and turn that was taken to lead me to the position that I occupied before I end up here. And I think it's rather presumptuous of people that don't know me to assume that they understand me better than I understand myself. ~~I went to a lot of pains I wish I could erase to know the full truth.~~

	Your version of honesty seems to be finding all the ways to make it other people's fault rather than your own. And you only seem to want to do anything in order to affect other people's perceptions. Some people also know what it's like to have royally screwed up and hurt a lot of people and yet actually dealt with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What am I supposed to say? I'd hardly have made the choices that I did if they hadn't been precipitated by the other events. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So what? I've killed people. I was once an assassin for a guy trying to ascend to being pure demon and wiping out most of the world. And I can make the excuses like my mother never loved me or maybe if I hadn't seen my first Watcher slaughtered I would have been more mentally stable, or the fact that the guy I worked for was the closest thing I had to a dad. All reasonable excuses. But the fact is, I still killed people. Me. Nothing will ever make that right and it was my responsibility. Not my mother or the Mayor or my Watcher. Mine. It's called being a grown up.

	I would think you'd be used to that. If you knew me when I was still like... that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hardly. He was one of the few who could talk me down when I was in my moods. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was think that once, you know. I know how I acted. Self-sacrificing, weak-willed, easily manipulated... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gabriel was never weak willed. Not the Gabriel I considered a friend. (Reply to this) (Parent)
