[...] You're right. I did stand by. And looking back on it, I [...] apologise. I wantedI still w I didn't say anything to you then, and perhaps I should have. I was afraid.
What I can't do is apologise or make excuses for something in my future that I haven't done. I don't know why I failed to take the potion. I don't know what happened, because I haven't lived it. But I do know that what happened here was a mistake. I made the decision that seemed like the safest one at the time, that was the least likely to get anyone killed, and things went wildly wrong.
Don't you dare tell me I don't take this seriously.
